The 50 best churches in Providence

Friendly, inclusive, welcoming church community, with a magnificent interior. The antique organ is currently undergoing repairs but the original pipes are beautiful, as well as memorial stained glass windows. It is a fusion of gothic styles, designed by BOTH Richard Upjohn and Ralph Adams Cram!! Definitely worth a visit for this history, and a beautiful place to pray.

The worship was so nice Rev. Jonathan gives the 2nd best homily I’ve ever heard after my dad who is a Pastor of course. The people are so warm, my first service, and every service, I am greeted at the door with smiles so bright it always gives Genesis 1:3 The Episcopal Church celebrates an open table communion arrangement, an opportunity for non members to participate in Lord’s meal, and it is celebrated as often as we meet. The service caters for people of all ages. If you love music and choir singing, the church has an amazing choir, with wonderful songs, the singing is always so good(I can hardly keep up😂) If you’re visiting or you’re looking for a Church family this is a place to be. At the end of the service there is a blessing and the Rector Rev. Jonathan, always invites everyone to grab coffee and a snack or two, as he takes his time to engage with the laity with the assistance of Rev. Hylton who serves as the Assistant Rector.

A beautiful church with remarkable history. If you’re like me and you just passed by it for years without going inside—STOP! GO IN! They’re so kind and welcoming. It’s just so peaceful and truly stunning.

Loved the blessing of the animals! And the choir, of course, as usual.

I would leave no stars if it were an option, this review is a reflection on the Grace Church based on its abandonment of its burial ground on Broad Street. The grounds have been neglected, abandoned, and vandalized for decades now. They claim to "focus on the living" and say they offer services helping the poor and their are no funds to maintain the cemetery, that being said the church and its "pavilion" seem to have no issues spending money on material items and restorations. Money was taken be these deceased individuals and their families, the desecration of their graves is on you, your staff, and clergy who have made the decision to not keep up your end of the bargain, it is shameful.

My goddaughter and her husband were married there. Old Episcopalian church, in the middle of downtown Providence. Absolutely beautiful, olde style pew boxes, many artifacts adorning the premises. A truly wonderful occasion.

What a lovely church. I was warmly greeted and given a program at the 10:00 am mass. The choir and organ sounded beautiful. The bells sounded wonderful. The presider gave a great sermon. I am a gay man who felt very much at home here. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning architectural design! Went for 1 pm Sunday mass. Loved the smell of incense the beautiful stained glass the pews. The peaceful quiet and presence of Gods spirit were strongly felt. I am not Catholic but really enjoyed visiting and partaking in the service.

This is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve been to in Rhode Island. Everything was beautiful and grandiose. The details were very on point. Would definitely go to mass here every Sunday.

This Cathedral is absolutely gorgeous! We could feel God's love as soon as we walked inside! The music was absolutely beautiful, between the organist and the vocalist it was amazing! We are looking forward to attending another service soon!!

My daughter was married Friday August 1. It was a very long road. First off, the communication was horrible. For a couple these days who wanted to be married in the church is not common. We are lifelong Catholics but they made it extremely difficult! Instead of being welcoming, this church made it difficult every step of the way. The rehearsal is a whole other story! Awful! We got off the trolley on the day of the wedding to an angry face. Not looking a us just saying “get in there”…… Now comes the ceremony, priest did not have on a mic. It’s a big church and the people could not hear the vows. We asked to have mics so people could hear. The church wonders why people are leaving the church. I’ll tell you why, STOP making it so difficult to get things done and communicate.

The Cathedral is absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking architecture has been maintained and restored throughout the years, and the structure is truly an architectural marvel for anyone of any denomination to appreciate. The ornate design is paralleled only by the acoustics which lend to a truly magical experience when listening to voices and instrumentation in concert or during Catholic mass. The pipe organ is a marvel in and of itself! Numerous performance groups hold concerts at the Cathedral, and Roman Catholic Mass is celebrated weekly. Parking is limited and it is best to use the metered parking on the main road or to pay to park in a lot. Wear appropriate shoes for walking on cobblestones and uneven sidewalks, and scarves and gloves are a must in the winter months when the side streets leading to the Cathedral act like a frigid wind tunnel. There is ample seating for just about any event, due to the building's immense size. Bathrooms are clean and fully accessible. An elevator is available for those who require it.

This was out first visit, excellently beautiful church and mass was a good service but for some reason not many other people there.

Lucky to have made it in. The Church was locked, but we ran into a sister who was going into the office, she contacted maintenance, and they let us in to pray as they cleaned the church. Was not let down, a gorgeous interior.

My Dad took me to see his church and ring the bell. Well kept building for it's age and history.

I feel inspired to be the best version of myself after every sermon I attend. The inclusivity, shared love, and inspiring people who are a part of this community provide me with hope, strength and purpose. I have visited many churches to find one that is a “perfect fit” and have landed here. Reverend Liz’s message of compassion and love for others and God is unparalleled.

I love Unitarian churches for they believe in all religions and spiritual ways. No pressure like other religions who shame and scare you into believing their way is the only way!! Namaste!

Warm, open and welcoming congregation. Intelligent, open-hearted minister whose preaching is uplifting and challenging. Amazing choir and music. A huge array of programs to expand human connections and nurture the spirit. A haven for all types of families and people of all ages. Many opportunities to assist in charitable outreach to the larger Providence community. and so much more... I love this place.

A beautiful church packed with remnants of it's detailed history and full of phenomenal attendees and clergy!

Really nice facilities. Supportive of 12 step groups. No complaints.

I was visiting Providence for the weekend with a friend. We were taking pictures of this beautiful historic church when we were energetically invited inside for a tour by a church member. He told us all about the history of the building and even took us up into the clock tower! It had left such a great impression on us that we decided to come to the Sunday Service on the following day. The service was surprisingly crowded and had a very warm and traditional nature. The music was extremely professionally done, and the minister was very welcoming in his message. After the service, many people stopped to chat with us and introduce themselves. I had never been to a Unitarian Church before and liked some of the philosophies I heard about while visiting. I especially liked the reiterated focus on coming together as one, despite our differences. There also appeared to be a lot of different activities going on and things to get involved with at this church. I would definitely recommend checking it out. If anything, visit the building for it's fine example of preserved early nineteenth century architecture in Providence.

The building was appealing to the eye, but the church is not appealing to the soul. An immense amount of heresy starting by “proclaiming” the name of Jesus Christ but mentioning and treating God as a woman. Same with having an “all inclusive” church is just another excuse to bash the name of Jesus Christ and what a Christian church really stands for. Truly disgraceful.

All inclusive service. Very welcoming all people. Meaningful and relevant sermons.

Very unique piece of the Providence skyline with the enormous emerald dome. One of the earliest buildings in Providence it is quite spectacular. Nice interior as well though far less ornate than Catholic and other huge churches.

Open and affirming church with an amazing choir, daycare and understanding Sunday School program.

We parked in your lot 4 a show and your attendant was most gracious.

This was a great experience. The pastor was so welcoming and sweet.

Went to the RPM Christmas Concert, it was beautiful and spiritually enlightening.

Breathtakingly beautiful!! Not a soul in sight.

Beautiful old church. They have a very informative video and then we walked around the church by ourselves. Several very old documents and pieces our where you can see them close up. It is a beautiful place worth the visit!! Cost is a donation.

Great historic church, beautifully done.

Old historic building. You won’t miss much if you are looking for architecture

A beautiful historic building centered on College Hill in Providence, RI. Still standing on the founding principles that brought Roger Williams to this location in 1638. "We reserve the right to accept EVERYONE".

Historically, it certainly has a place of significance but from a spiritual standpoint, it is so far removed from what Roger Williams established it to serve as, is now disheartening.

Great history of being the first Baptist Church in America. The exterior is beautiful!

Beautiful building, able to walk in and enjoy the stained glass paintings and pretty architecture.

I visited here for the noonday Mass on a Friday in Lent, and enjoyed my visit so much I came back for Stations of the Cross that evening! It was an absolutely wonderful visit; the Rector and parishioners made me feel quite at home while I was there.

A stunning church building, but more importantly, the people are incredibly warm and welcoming. I visited once many years ago and didn't find it particularly friendly, however, I gave it another chance 3 years ago and the vibe had COMPLETELY changed. People welcomed me, the rector remembered my name the following week and I got nothing but smiles and welcomes. It's become my church home now., I'm happy to say. The worship service is Anglo-Catholic (or "high church") Episcopal - very beautiful. The music is amazing - a brilliant organist/choir director and a professional choir that will knock your socks off. I'm so glad I went back a second time - this place is a jewel.

A very nice place. They are all very friendly. I had the opportunity to see the choir rehearsing with organ music.

Amazing beautiful historical church. A place to pop in for a quick prayer when the doors are open.

Although I have never been here. It was where my mother’s branch of her American family were worshippers here. The Lincoln/ Allen family. Her mother who was only in her 20s is buried here. I really must visit Providence. I live in England.

One of the prettier buildings on Brown's campus. It is often open during the day for service or individuals. They are used to people poking in to explore, so don't be shy. Lovely facade on the green quad as well.

My daughter got married at SA in July 2024. It was magnificent, and Tina, Justine and the chefs went over and beyond in their efforts to make the experience magical. Do not pass this opportunity to experience a wedding people will talk about for months. The food and hospitality are among the best I’ve experienced. The staff are fantastic.

Squantum gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams. The staff, especially Justine and Tina were remarkable to work with, every question was answered, Justine floated thru the entire night, doing small things that didn’t go unnoticed (giving us a plate of each of our apps set up at the sweetheart table for when we sat down, serving beer at the beginning of cocktail hour to assist with the crowd, fixing my wedding topper when I broke it myself, moving our cigar table from outside to inside as we got a quick downpour, boxing up leftovers to bring back). That is exactly what you want from the venue coordinator. The grounds speak for themselves- beautiful. Coming from a large family, we were voted to have the best wedding food ever. And to be honest, for the greatest day of our lives, the price was so totally reasonable, so many venues nickel and dime you on everything- Squantum was transparent right away, no surprise fees attached and we appreciated that during the planning process. Aka just sign the papers and get married here!

Tina, Justine, and the entire Squantum Association team helped set an incredibly strong foundation for our 2024 wedding. The entire planning process was transparent and straightforward, and you couldn’t ask for anything else while planning a wedding. I could breathe a sigh of relief knowing I had Tina and Justine’s expertise to rely on. Our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, how great the food selections were, and how friendly the staff was. Squantum Association is a true hidden New England gem and a perfect choice for a couple looking to have a great experience at a great value.

Historical grounds, lovely looks of the Narragansett bay paired with a great menu. A gem of a spot.

Hands down the most amazing wedding venue I've ever been too. The dinner served was the best I've had at a wedding, for one. It was absolutely fantastic. Filet minon with mashed potatoes and asparagus, all made perfectly. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful also. The many different buildings are amazing. The view is beautiful.

I've had the privilege of shooting two weddings at this venue so far and have found the portrait locations, the staff, the food, and the experience to be of the highest caliber. It was a pleasure to collaborate with the coordinator and, let's be honest, getting to take photos of a cannon being fired is pretty freaking cool. I highly recommend Squantum Association for your wedding venue, either for just the reception or for the ceremony as well as I've captured both.

The Wedding was amazing because of the incredibly beautiful and serene location. Service and staff did not disappoint 👏 I'm sure the bride and groom along with their friends and family were all very pleased with the outcome.

⭐️⭐️ (2 out of 5 stars) As a Protestant, I’ve recently felt a calling to pray the rosary. I even purchased one and wanted to have it blessed, so while in Providence for business, I reached out to the Church of the Holy Ghost. I first called on a Friday, asking if a priest would be available the next day. Their answering service took my message and promised a call back. No one ever returned the call. On Saturday, while within walking distance of the church, I called again. Same result—my information was taken, but I received no follow-up. It is now Monday, and I have still not heard back from anyone. For someone outside the Catholic tradition reaching out in good faith, it was disheartening to be ignored entirely. If the Church prides itself on “serving the community,” responsiveness should be a basic part of that. Unfortunately, my experience left me unimpressed and disappointed.

My first church service in Providence and it was solemn. I loved the façade and the stained window glasses. They even have Italian mass during weekend.

So so beautiful. Made my baptism and communion here... looks so taken care of and loved

A very gorgeous church ⛪️ ✨ Always clean. Always a comfortable temperature

My daughter was married there, and today we baptized her first born son

Beautiful stained glass. Love the multilingual masses.

A beautiful historic church, and a wonderful mass to match.

Love this church. Very welcoming. When looking for a mass in English, my kids and I were lucky to find St. Pius.

This parish has a lot going on. Daily confessions, daily Mass preceded by The Holy Rosary, Stations of The Cross after the Friday Mass during lent, and periodically they offer seminars and Bible Studies prior to, and sometimes after Daily Mass. There is also a fair share of Dominican priests from Providence College who celebrate daily Mass, offering an array of perspectives on the Faith. The only issue I see, and it's a deal breaker for me, is that the priests, deacons and lay ministers do not use hand sanitizer prior to distributing the The Holy Eucharist. Being a senior citizen with a compromised immune system, I can't risk catching a virus. Receiving The Holy Eucharist is the sum and summit of our Faith, uniting our entire being with Jesus, and with God The Father and The Holy Spirit, since our Triune God is inseparable. It's a drag that I have to go elsewhere, but Holy Communion trumps everything else.

I've been in St.Pius parish my entire life. From baptism, school, first communion, confirmation, wedding and sadly my husband's funeral 4 months ago. Father James and Father Pat were both a tremendous source of comfort to me and my family throughout this most difficult time. I love my parish. 🙏🙏🙏

A warm and welcoming community, very active. Preaching always well done. The priests are very good at explaining the historical facts with ideas on how to apply to my personal faith life. I've always had good experiences with confessions, also.

Saint Pius always amazes me. They have a fantastic young adult program, beautiful masses and is located in one of the most gorgeous and family friendly neighborhoods in the area. The friars always give beautiful and inspiring homilies, the sisters greet everyone with their warm and welcoming personalities and the parishioners make it easy to feel like you belong. I am so thankful to have found Saint Pius!

A beautiful Parish celebrating Christ, the light of the world and the love of God in every way. A great community of believers. There is something at St. Pius V for every demographic. The Friars are very welcoming spiritual Fathers to the body Christ in a great neighborhood!

Beautiful church with a great layout. The interior was beautifully decorated on "Little Christmas". Sadly, I was there for a funeral and the service was solemn but well done.

I really liked the Mass. I enjoyed the whole experience. I like st. Thomas church very much. I'm new but it's great to hear the priest.

St Thomas Catholic Church is a gem of a parish. The people are friendly and welcoming. There's always something to do. There are knitting groups and family events often held throughout the year. There is a Food Pantry on Tuesdays to serve the area's less fortunate. The choir is always looking for new voices, if that is your thing. Check it out! Saturday 4pm Mass, Sunday 1030am.

Lovely church and it’s members. The priest is a gem. When we needed him to come and visit a loved one who could use love, he went above and beyond. So comforting and truly a man of God. Thank you

Extremely loud and incessant talking and laughing before Mass did not allow quiet time for prayer. Does the Gloria need to be gilded by CONGA DRUMS and doorbells? I have never attended such an irreverent Mass in my 67 years. Shameful!

Father John is a good guy who is down to earth. No airs or pretenses. Everyone I've ever encountered at St. Thomas are very friendly. The Knights of Columbus are also a very active council that interacts with the church community.

I go to St. Thomas Church in Providence, we feel very safe there, constantly cleaning, 6 ft of seperation, every other pew is roped off. Masks are worn by everyone. They also have their masses on there website.

Went to their food pantry held on Tuesdays starting at 9:30am great selection very helpful friendly workers and the Father that I see is very kind helpful. Oh his dog greets almost everyone

Their propaganda tour is about an hour long with one free made in USA water mug. You get to hear history of the university with a sophomore student. Lots of walking and standing with parents and their children. Wear comfy shoe.

A beautiful campus! The tour was fun and informative. They give out a free water bottle if you registered for a tour.

We took the campus tour and it was excellent. The guides were very knowledgeable, likeable, and well trained. The campus was beautiful.

On the day of our campus tour, was weird to encounter angry anti-evolution anti-gay extremist protestors shouting about sin in front of such a prestigious institution.

Wonderful people, impressed by the Egyptian Studies!

Good people lots of interesting things to see

Very nice visitors center!

It's gorgeous inside I will give it that. But they sing really old outdated hymnal songs I couldn't get into the worship music and even the sermon held no conviction or punch. I would say leave this church to the older people.

This local church has a welcoming and vibrant community. Feel free to come in for a service and enjoy the soaring ceiling, beautiful windows, and amazing music.

I have attended Central as a member for close to 20 years. The church is a wonderful welcoming environment. All three of my kids have enjoyed the vibrant youth programs. The music is also incredible.

Wonderful music, welcoming community, beautiful and inspiring space! An important part of our family's life.

Extremely loving place. Wonderful music. Blessed congregations.

Kind folks, very helpful directing me when I was looking to help others. A credit to the UCC

Beautiful Church and Friendly People. Like Everybodyis a Family.

This hidden gem is amazing! My wife had my 50th birthday party here and everything was perfect. The beautiful venue, staff, and food was great! We had about 90 guests and there was so much room. The staff was so accommodating and very polite. I highly recommended having any event here.

I held my wedding at Hope Events on Main in September 2024 and it went so well. The event coordinator was quick to respond to my very specific questions, and they were extremely helpful through each stage of wedding planning. From booking the venue, to being transparent about pricing & options, to our big day where every staff member was friendly and helpful! I would get married here over & over again, and our guests have not stopped talking about the venue. The pricing is extremely reasonable with a restaurant onsite, and the food was delicious! All of my outside vendors mentioned that Hope Events on Main was a great venue to work with, and that everything was taken care of. If you choose this venue, you will not regret it!

I love when old factories are repurposed and turned into very creative spaces. This building had lots of charm. The room was very nice for a wedding. The service and food was on point and staff very accommodating. I was the DJ for this wedding February 8 and I was very impressed.

Great old venue revamped ! Food was good , Not enough people serving the wedding . Only one bartender and left dirty dishes on the sweetheart table the entire wedding! Several glitches like that. They need to tighten up a bit. But otherwise, it's a good time.

Hope events was such a stunning venue, we got countless compliments on the difference spaces and how much fun everything was. We rented 3 spaces for our March 2025 wedding, one being the breakdown bowling bar which was a MASSIVE hit! And was something everyone enjoyed so so much. Every photo in every rented space was stunning and was a dream. While the venue was absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone who’s looking to get married in a more industrial looking setting I will be honest and say the day wasn’t without some hitches. First I would like to HIGHLY recommend and notify you that if you do use this venue you will need to hire or request the help of friends/ family to decorate the spaces how you desire. The day of coordination only sets up the tables, chairs and the basic linens that you rent from them. Any other signs, candles, florals etc will have to be set up by you. This wasn’t the end of the world for me but it should definitely be of consideration when you book. I would also like to recommend the possibility of hiring your own outside coordinator while the coordinators were so kind and did the best they can to ensure things went well, there was definitely a lack of communication with regards to how everything will/ should be run. It was with the help of 2 friends that our day was able to run as smooth as possible and my wishes were able to come to fruition. The largest thing that I would emphasize with this venue is the fact that up until the scheduled wedding it is a PUBLIC space. So there were many random people looking around and in all the different spaces. We were hugely disappointed when a family was touring the venue just moments before our ceremony and just mere seconds after my first look with my father. I did bring this up to the venue was I was extremely disappointed in the fact that this was something that occurred. They were remorseful and stated they will attempt to be more observant of these things so that other couples don’t have to have people invading their intimate moments. There were some hiccups as with every wedding but our day was so perfect regardless. I would highly recommend this venue! The food was fantastic as well! I can’t forget to mention that. The hors d’oeuvres were delicious and highly enjoyed as well as the cantina station/ pasta bar and salad! We loved the food and enjoyed it very much!

I got married at Hope Events on Main in March 2024. While the venue itself is beautiful and offers great potential, the planning process and communication left much to be desired, making what should have been an exciting experience unnecessarily stressful. We booked the venue in December 2022. However, from the start, communication was inconsistent. Initially, we were told outside catering was allowed, but during the tour, we learned it wasn’t an option anymore. Despite this disappointment, we loved the space and moved forward. We paid the deposit and were told we’d get a contract later, and when we asked for a floor plan, we were repeatedly told we’d get it “closer to the date.” The tastings were a major issue. The first one was a disaster – the food was bland, greasy, and poorly cooked. Alec, who attended, apologized and directed us to Jackie, who assured us that our concerns would be addressed. The second tasting was better, with the chef meeting us, telling us he had mistakenly left out key ingredients but took our feedback. We gave him a few more notes but felt better. When we found out they’d hired a new chef shortly before our wedding, we pushed for a third tasting. Jackie initially resisted, saying it wasn’t standard, but eventually agreed. Unfortunately, the third tasting introduced new issues, with some dishes completely different from what we had previously tried. Alec apologized again but offered no solutions. When we expressed concerns to Jackie, she became defensive, and the conversation felt more about appeasing her than addressing the problems. As the wedding approached, communication remained difficult. After asking multiple times for a floor plan, I asked in a Facebook group if anyone had one, which prompted an immediate response via email from Jackie. Details like our contract were also unclear; Jackie said our paid invoice served as the contract. She also asked if we wanted a rehearsal but later sent an unexpected invoice when we said yes, claiming a fee was required if staff was involved (which we didn’t ask for, told her we didn’t need, yet they still showed up and half heartedly assisted, which made things even more confusing). On the wedding day, things continued to go awry. Guests got lost trying to find the ceremony location and saw me in my dress (despite being on a different floor).. Despite multiple reminders about my difficulty with stairs, Alec didn’t give me the heads-up we’d discussed, leading to an awkward timing gap and confusion among guests and my wife. While we took photos, we sent vendors to get food from cocktail hour but not much was left as staff was eating it. During the reception, the food was different again. My chicken piccata was rubbery with congealed sauce, and my plate was cleared without asking, while I was sitting at the table talking to a guest. We had a large dessert table with a small cake and assorted treats and planned to enjoy some later, but by the end of the night, most of it was gone. A family friend who coordinated later told us she saw venue staff packing desserts, assuming it was for us, but the box was actually taken to their car. Sadly, my wife and I didn’t even get to try some of the special desserts we’d chosen, which we had planned to share with the staff. Our vendors did an amazing job bringing my vision to life, and our friends and family had a wonderful time on the dance floor. However, the venue staff’s lack of organization, poor communication, and repeated mishandling of key aspects made the planning process and parts of the day unnecessarily stressful. Ultimately, the venue has potential, but I cannot in good conscience recommend it. The beautiful space isn’t worth the gamble unless significant improvements are made to how they operate. Despite the length of this review, it is only a brief summary of the issues we faced.

Went to a buffet and 2 bands hosting an 80s party theme. Lots of fun

Warm and welcoming church environment where the Word of God is taught with authority toward making life changes for all who desire an inward conversion.

Friendly welcoming atmosphere. Excellent pastors who live Gods Kingdom Principles. Pastor Robert Jones

you will get the message that God has for you there, rededicated my life and I am soaring! 2015 - present

Really good place to go to learn about the word

I Went Sunday And It Was Awsome I Will Be Back!!!!!!!!

Love it there,Great people!

Love going to church there

Best experience I've ever had! All them about G.O.A.Ts

Awesome group of people helped me personally and professionally!

Outstanding organization with exceptional staff.

Very insightful organization!

Im doing it

I had.a less.tham pleasuranle experiemne at this church. Pastor Scott is nor a.true follower of Chrisst. I have proof.of.this.look at the collection of trash incliding.a mattress used by vagrants , on the site.. a congregation of 10-20 at most. I pray for Scott

Wonderful traditional Christian Universalist church.

Great place

Welcome ALL to worship and a Historic landmark .

Absolutely beautiful church building, reverent traditional liturgy, and lovely singing by the Schola. It was very helpful to have confessions during Mass also. The people were friendly to us as visitors and the refreshment time afterwards was lively and delicious. If we lived closer we would definitely go back!

We were impressed by the beauty of the church and the excellence of the Latin Mass. It brought us back to our youth and the solemnity of the mass as we remember it.

Want to experience a High Latin Mass? This is an excellent option! The priests are great in confession, give beautiful Christ centered homilies and it has a thriving parish community.

Beautiful church and Mass. Inspiring. My only problem is that when watching online there has been a very loud intermittent yelling from a child that disrupts constantly throughout the service. I can't imagine how disturbing it must be for anyone sitting near them. Clearly the child is not able to attend public places where listening is critical. I have been watching the mass for 6 months and the child is often present at any of the times. I feel dread as soon as I hear it. I wish the parent would be more considerate of others. Oh well!

I discovered St. Mary's through a friend over 2 years ago. No prior experience with the Extraordinary (Latin) Rite. I have been attending since. The pastor Fr. Berg, as well as all other priests (Fr. Kodett, Fr. Rock) go above and beyond in delivering sacraments, instruction, and excellent homilies. This parish also has a wonderful community, never felt like an outsider. Definitely worth checking out.

Amazing church. Mass is lovely

Last month I went to a Latin Mass at Saint Mary Church in Broadway, Providence for the first time, and I left the Church confused and lost. Today I watched for two hours a teaching video of a Latin Mass for priests and I loved it! My next visit to a Latin Mass will be much easier to fit in. I read a lot about the Latin Mass to educate myself. When the Church stopped saying the Latin Mass in 1962 I was about two years old .... that explains my confusion! I will be discerning now which Mass I should go on Sundays. I never like to receive Communion from lay people, unfortunately on vigil Mass and Sunday Mass it happens a lot. At the daily Mass usually you can get communion from the priest at local parishes. At the Latin Mass I felt so close to Heaven and God when I was watching the Mass this morning. ( The Latin Mass and the New Mass are so different...as in night and day.) I pray to God I will be able to join Saint Mary Church on Broadway as a parishioner ( I live in West Warwick) in Jesus name through the intercession of Mary! Blessed be God and Mary! Let it be done to me , my Lord and my God! Amen. BLESSED BE THE LATIN MASS! I pray it comes back again in Jesus name through the intercession of Mary! Amen. Blessed be God and Mary!

I have been part of this community for over 20 years. This is where I meet my savior Jesus Christ!!!

Got married here 10 years ago! Beautiful neighborhood church!

A good place to hear the holy mass in spanish

Nice Comunity and the amazing priests.

Beautiful church, great services

How much is it to get married here?

A great place for a meeting!

Attended the Virgen of Guadalupe mass. Beautiful church, amazing service by priests and Bishop Tobin.

I was here for the 100th anniversary of the apparitions at Fatima. It was a beautiful experience. This cathedral is a must see if you are a Roman Catholic in RI. Fabulpus atmospere here and gorgeous architecture. Let's not forget, this is the church of our beloved 8shop Tobin.

Gabriel's call is amazing. They help with baby essentials, such as baby diapers, wipes, clothing, and books. Good resource for those people who are in need.

I've asked the church for help on two occasions, wasn't asking for much at all but was denied on both occasions

I can tell it's the best place I have ever visited and worked in. The service is excellent and the employees are experienced ones

I love this Cathedral. It's so beautiful.

Catholic Cathedral. Peaceful, worshipful, sanctuary.

Weird, non-inclusive church - Specifically the priest. Highly recommend attending elsewhere.

The best people in the world!!!

👍

Goid place to visit

The best 👌

Great church

(Translated by Google) Very nice church I like its people and it preaches (Original) Muy linda iglesia me gusta su gente y predica

I haven't been here in over a year but it is a very beautiful church and I had to see it for myself because I go to St Mary's in Newport which is also a beautiful church and we had a priest fr. Charles Maher say that blessed sacrament church is the most beautiful church in Rhode island and he could be right. I have attended the Saturday evening masses a few times which were fine.

blessed Sacrament Church is an incredibly beautiful church. If you haven’t seen it, you must stop to see it. Most of my Goodwin aunts, uncles, and cousins were parishioners there since the 1930’s! Fr Grogdin is young, personal, and easy to talk to priest.

Married my high school boyfriend 50 years ago 1970. Retired Air Force, we have seen many churches, but this church is one of the most beautiful. Wonderful memories attending Mass and getting married. God Bless 💗

Sad to see the organist who I think was a priest (wore a white collar) by Spanish band. Nothing against the Spanish fellow but he thinks hes in a Spanish parish - sad - now going to st anns.

The architecture was just beautiful as was the stained glass. The presence upon walking in was so welcoming and peaceful, truly an amazing space.

Unbelievably beautiful church. Kind, pleasant priests.

Best food

Clear your sidewalks, it's inconsiderate and dangerous for neighbors. Clearly you can but simply choose not to.

Great place of worship. I live near here and I love watching the cute little Armenian old ladies walking to and fro. Definitely worth seeing! the thing I like most about this place is the Armenian people. They are very nice and gentle people and very kind. They are wonderful people to have in the neighborhood because they have nice families and they are very nice to each other and they treat the neighborhood very well. They also treat the neighbors very respectfully and they are just a great neighbor to have.

Love this church. Wonderful memories as a child growing my Christian faith here. Still going here has an adult brings a sense of peace and gratitude.

One of Rhode Island's landmarks. It's also called Blue Cross Church because of the Blue Cross on top light's up at night. Spiritual place that brings the Armenian Community together. ⛪

I'm full blooded armenian. Love the culture and people of the church!

On my used their parking lot for jury duty! Nice parking lot!

Staff is very rude

I love old and ancient Churches. I used to sing in this tiny church when I lived in Providence, RI. It's good to see it again.

A Catholic Church in College Hill. It's rather big and well decorated. During Mass an organ is played and a talented singer provides lyrics for the hyms. Not the most vibrant atmosphere, though.

The oldest Catholic church in Providence. It's beautiful, with nice hymns, and a good choir. I always felt the parishioners were friendly here, as well.

An extremely beautiful setting for Mass. The large and original stained glass windows allowed for a peaceful experience.

The priest here is very nice and welcoming to everyone. Also the community is really nice too :)

An oasis of heaven on the east side. Beautiful and oldest operating Catholic church in RI.

Terrible place, long time home to serial child predator Father Normand Demers who used this place as his personal mansion of horrors from the mid to early 1970's through 1989 when he was arrested and jailed in Haiti, should be torn down.

Just the annual flower communion, Unitarians being who they are. Bell Street has been there since the 1850s. it's Rhode Island.

If your 'Spiritual Not Religious' this is the perfect place to call home for church or your beliefs. The congregation is friendly and treats you like family. They always accept you for who you are no matter religion,race, or sexual orientation. Bell Street is the best Church in Providence.

From the first time I walked through the doors I felt welcomed. Very soon after that first visit I felt like I belong. I have seen it happen to many first time visitors.Looking for a new spiritual connection or just passing through,don't miss an opportunity to connect with some pretty amazing human beings.

Lovely old chapel

Straight, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Non conforming, You are welcome at Bell Street Chapel.Come for a visit, stay for coffee, meet some new friends.

Super inclusive. Great AA meeting on Thursdays at 7pm

*edit, I wrote a wrong review for the wrong place! I previously wrote a review for the chapel restaurant in Cranston, and it ended up on Bell st Church! My apologies!

I was Very disappointed in the Horrific treatment I received while I fellowship at this church. I was physically assaulted by its supposed “Christian Church members” and their children. My family and I were actively attending services there on a regular basis and due to this tragic Altercations we haven’t attended this awful church since. I definitely would not recommend this church to anyone. It’s not very welcoming or friendly. In fact I have heard the members of the Congregation verbally insult the preacher’s wife on many different occasions. I was completely appalled to hear such harsh comments and remarks from their members while sitting in the congregation. It’s very sad they don’t value their pastor and his wife. Nor the visitors and members. Not the kind of place I would EVER want go again. Once my family and I stopped attending, the Pastor nor his members didn’t even bother to reach out and see what happened. Not very Considerate or Christian like.. Wow! What a church. their actions or lack thereof speaks volumes to the horrific treatment I received while I fellowshipped there. Worse church experience EVER!!

Amazing Gospel worship team. Combination of ole, new and original pieces. Free Parking. Small groups, children service. Connected, fast talker

One of the oldest African-American churches in the US. Fairly new minister with a lot of energy. Worth a visit. Folks are friendly & welcoming.

Spirit filled worship experience. Friendly group of Christian believers.Wonderful musician.

Great church service at Congdon Street Baptist Church. The members were very friendly.

Each and every Sunday I receive something from the powerful teaching/preachings

A very welcoming congregation.

Not sure how the church is, as I haven't attended service yet, but I wanted to forewarn anyone interested in the 7pm bible study on Tuesday that is advertised on the sign outside the Door. That for some reason that is a MENS ONLY bible study. No idea why it says "adult bible study" yet is only for men. Just wanted to warn anyone else who was walking by and is a woman and thought "oh how nice I will check that out" pretty embarrassing for me to show up in a group of men 🙃 but luckily I live right around the corner so I didn't have far to drive back home. I then asked where the women's bible study was but apparently there wasnt one....there is an online one on mondays i think. But i feel women need fellowship in person just as much, if not more, than men. I also feel that sign needs to be updated to avoid any future confusion and embarrassment. It should say adult MEN bible study. Not adult bible study. You can even just laminate and tape the word MEN over the sign if you can't afford a new sign. Thanks to the pastor for handling the situation kindly though. Have a good day. EDIT:went for a service and was ignored the whole time except by one welcoming lady who came and gave me a hug and welcomed me but they talked alot about race in the sermon which I found weird how he was saying so much about race but that made me look around and then I saw everyone was African American or Portuguese (hence the Portuguese services they hold) that's fine with me but there was not a single other white person there. I noticed then on my way out the African American man who was telling everyone goodbye at the door completely skipped from the AA lady infront of me to the AA woman behind me saying have a great day sister.... WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT ME this was very hurtful to me because I don't care about color at all infact not a single friend of mine is white but it seems they REALLY care about the color of your skin which is why I'm 100% sure there are no white people here. Because they came and saw how they were treated. GOD views everyone the same! infact Jesus himself had tan skin. In this day and age why would we treat anyone different based on their skin tone? Sadly I'll never set foot here again.

Love this Church and the Pastor 💟✝️❤️‍🔥

Loved the service, the people were very nice

I converted from Catholicism bcuz here you feel welcome. The Pastor actually know your name and takes time to get to know you personally. Here it's not just talk of community, they live it. Christ has a very real presence at this church.

Great Christian's who strive for the best way to live and get to know christ more.

I recommend everyone to come here and listen to the pastor bala preach the words of almighty God

The service is beautiful and enlightening.

I didn't feel like this was the church for me.

Lovely old church wedged between the mall and a hotel.

never been, but it sure sounds like a blast!

Rich history, Bible based Church with an active Sunday school and volunteer opportunities.

A beautiful place to just go and pray.

Beautiful Church, my Grandson got Baptist

No place better for peace and comfort.

God's house 🙏. No judgement just love.

Was a real nice baptism

A true Armenian Church.

This church is a safe haven...it is grounded in Christ's love and is without judgement. Pastor Sarah brings a heart of healing and reconciliation and Pastor Ken brings a heart of helping those in need and encouraging others. If you are seeking a true community based worship experience, this would be the place to be. The outreach is growing and if you have a heart to help others who are in need...your ideas and creativity to advance those ideas will be embraced. We all come to the alter covered in God's grace and mercy.

A reviewer wrote, 'whose preaching has theological and intellectual depth and is both prophetic and mystical.' Really? On the church homepage: 'Community Church of Providence is a place where you are free to bring your authentic self.' Really? Also, 'Diverse in ethnicity, backgrounds, family structure, worship styles and theology....' There cannot be diverse theology. Otherwise, it is a false theology. Truth is exclusive, not inclusive. Preaching that is 'mystical' is not of Jesus but of the devil. A church should open its doors to welcome all to be cleansed by the blood of Christ and to give up one's self, not celebrate it. Dear CCP leadership, repent and stop leading people astray. Read Revelation 2:1-29 and examine your wicked hearts. You are like the church of Smyrna, Pergamum. Thyatira, and Sardis. Repent!

I have been a member for 20+ years. They are progressive, while remaining true to their historical roots. They welcome everyone and are far less prescriptive than you might expect. They don't debate the small details that divide so many of us. This is difficult to find today's churches.

I am a member of Community Church of Providence, I am advanced in years and have attented "Church" all my life. When i found Community Church 20 years ago, I found Christ! Community church is now my family, it is welcoming, loving and caring of all people, something I never felt in previous churches. Our Pastor is a friend, a confidant and a true instrument of Christ. Please make a visit and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

In this place I found: wonderfully gifted welcoming people, diverse in every way, interesting and compelling music from many genres played by talented musicians led by an extraordinary pianist, and an intensely caring, approachable pastor, whose preaching has theological and intellectual depth and is both prophetic and mystical.

Nice people God bless

Very welcoming and genuine, caring congregation.

This is the first church I ever joined as an adult and even got married here in 07' best church and pastor family I've ever had, they will welcome you with open arms here and the love is Unconditional ❤️...

Great place to worship, and give god he's praise

I love god he makes me feel happy. Jk lol🙏🏻😏

Where You could share Gods Love

Great place to worship

On fire with the power and move of God

All human beings have an inner dimension that we call "the spiritual", neglecting it promotes empty. Have your own experience at PPC and write your own lines.

Friendly, welcoming, multiCultural church - highly recommend it for anyone looking for a 'judgement free' Christian church. Come as you are - worship Sundays at 10:00

Member of NA GROUP that meets here 4× a month.

👌🏾

what a wonderful church

Great location

Beautiful little church. I was there for the RI Civic Chorale's Handel Messiah sing.

We are occasionally in Providence and each visit we like to attend Mass at St. Sebastian's. The Pastor and parishioners are warm and inviting.

Beautiful church, great Pastor, lots of good memories

I really enjoy this church.

Wonderful Parish!

Peaceful, amen

Beautiful church, beautiful Mass. Convenient parking.

4:00pm mass om Saturday

A wonderful church, a wonderful priest, wonderful people

Favorite church.

(Translated by Google) Good evening, I would like to know if you give mass in Spanish (Original) Buenas noches, me gustaría saber si dan misa en español

Lovely building

Very friendly

I've been to the mediator for one UU gathering, several of their open mic nights and I've rented their facility many times. They are pleasant and very helpful and the rental is a decent price.

Iconic house of love, healing & music

I love this place

A very puritan style chapel located oddly above a museum display. There is a very New England church feel here with the stark white pews and walls and no decorations. All in all pretty non descript. At least the museum scared me on the way out as some ancient art sculptures were staring at me. Or were they really statues?

Beautiful place

legendary.

I enjoyed my time with them

The people there are very loving

Not very holy, or forgiving. Practice what you preach!
