| Cathedral of St. Patrick, Norwich, CT |
On a recent field trip with Adventures in Lifelong Learning, we visited a beautiful Catholic church. I've driven by it a number of times since my recent move to Norwich, and have wondered what it was like inside.
 |
| Located on Broadway St., the Cathedral of St. Patrick is Norwich's Catholic church |
 |
| A statue of St. Patrick is across the street in a small park |
 |
| "This is the house of God, This is the gate of heaven" |
 |
| Large and grand church interior |
 |
| Ceiling detail |
 |
| Red pillars support ceiling arches |
 |
| Stained glass windows |
Several speakers spoke about the church. Unfortunately, the sound system does not work with the current acoustics. Since carpeting was removed and marble floors installed, there is a loud echo that makes understanding speech impossible. Many people found this frustrating and complained, so with hope they will soon fix that problem. In the meantime, you can enjoy the visuals.

| On the way out... |
 |
| ...you can see the balcony pipe organ |
 |
| The story of Jesus' life is told in paintings throughout the church |
 |
| Close up of the Last Supper |
