Beautiful church with awe-inspiring architecture! Went for daily Mass and Confession on a Friday. The liturgy exudes an reverent, dynamic orthodoxy.
Beautiful, well cared for historic church. Attended a wonderful wedding here.
Such a beautiful church! The combination of amazing architecture, daily confessions, the weekday 12:10 Mass, and a fantastic priest (God bless Fr. Nagel!) this downtown parish really is wonderful place.
Beautiful and friendly people. Very nice church.
Father Rick gives great homilies and he does well creating a connection to everyday life. He has done a great job of engaging the young adult community. It is a great historical and beautiful church.
Wow 10am mass was filled with children, young adults. 100s Was a beautiful lift to a visitor who attends an older parish. Dr. Rick delivered a spiritual homily.
Beautiful church wonderful service
Awesome historical church downtown Indianapolis
Beautiful church and great place to go to say a prayer or find peace...need to be a bit tidier on the restrooms though.
This is a beautiful church in the heart of downtown. it is the most attended of the other Catholic churches in the area. Lots of diversity and families. The 8 am Mass is better if you dont like lots of children.
Passing by for a conference and stopped in. They were so kind and welcoming to visitors!
Beautiful Church! Love the availability of daily weekday confession (11:00-12:00) and Mass (12:15) over lunch.
Father Rick is a good pastor to a unique congregation in downtown Indy. The historic worship space is beautiful, and the worship very reverent. Also a great place to pray in private between masses.
Gorgeous! Oldest church in Indianapolis. I was only there for a Christmas concert, but beautiful!
Beautiful church with a lovely mass and music. I felt right at home.
Visited for a wedding. The church building was absolutely beautiful. The architecture, the stained glass windows, it was all beautiful to behold. I found myself not paying attention to the wedding, and instead looking around at all there was to see.
The stained glass just paints your soul with light and is such a beautiful church to go to mass in. It has many places to sit and has a quick mass as well.
We went just to look at it and found it to be a super beautiful home to Jesus Christ. The artwork was so beautiful that without it I could not give it five stars because the windows--being plan and remove the statues the walls would be bare. With all that in mind I would have to give it a 6.
So beautiful, and my favorite place for midnight mass on Christmad Eve
A stunning sacred Catholic church w a huge heart for service and building community. Must see, stop in!!
I was at Riley Hospital visiting a special family and I was going to stop in for Sunday Mass or just quiet prayer as I didnt know the schedule. It was a short walk from the Omni Hotel. It got there soon after Mass started. Very welcoming.
Absolutely beautiful church. Just not enough parking. Had to pay $15.00 to go to a wedding there.
Arguably one of the best all around Catholic churches in Indianapolis. Its an old style traditional church with a lot of history, built around 1837. Its been said that the church was designed by German immigrants and built by the Irish and you can see those influences in the design and architecture. The current pastor Father Negal is a fantastic priest! If youre visiting downtown Indianapolis and want to celebrate mass, this is the place.
Awesome church!
Most beautiful church in Indy with a great young adult community!Worried about parking for Sunday’s? There’s parking available in the garage next door.
Beautiful Church
Great liturgy and a very welcomingcongregation.
Tucked in the rush of downtown and the masses at the Colts game the doors appeared open.No idea what miracles may be within. Ive never entered.Perhaps one day for a look.Couldnt hurt.
The Hospitality from the generous family
Beautiful church I love it cant wait to go back beautiful place for a wedding
Confession is good for the soul and available M-F from 11 a.m. until noon. Daily Mass at 12:10 p.m.
Great priest! Lots of good, wholesome activities!!
Beautiful church. Pastor seems great. Music is meh.
Beautiful interior. Also, the parish offers daily confession during the weekday from 11a to noon, which is extremely convenient and a great blessing for those of us who work downtown.
Beautiful place.
The RCIA program is one of the best, and father rick is a great pasture.The Parish truly cares and is extremely welcoming of all people from every walk of life.
This is a beautiful church. There is nice artwork to look at.
I always see homeless people sleeping outside the church if you were really about what you preach you would not leave the sleeping outside
St John is a wonderful and vibrant parish for so many reasons. 7 pm Sunday Mass is always busy, the college and young families make it unique, being across from the Convention Center, the doors are literally open to many visitors, the historical aspects constantly amaze me, daily Confession and noontide Mass makes it a great opportunity to practice our faith. The music, that phenomenal organ, is one of a kind. I dont know the Adoration schedule but often stop in for prayers. Parking for Mass is free if you see an usher for a voucher.
Love this place..its my Fab too go when I need to talk to some one
I was here for a wedding. Beautiful church.
The heart of Christ is felt at this church.
Beautiful restored interior. Wonderful priest Fr. Rick Nagel. 1500 families and growing.
Visited for a wedding last weekend... the church is simply breathtaking.
Dont remember going here but any place where you worship our Lord and savior is a well-loved place
Very nice inside. Reminded me of the churches in Europe.
A wonderful place for worship or just to visit!
Beautiful place for worship.
What do we do?Come Home + Listen + PrayRoman Catholics Come Home.
Looking for practical advice on spiritual issues for todays modern tines? Come hear Father Rick at Indys oldest Catholic Church
Beautiful church architecture inside and out! I came here once for daily mass on my lunch break and really enjoyed it.
Beautiful historic holy place
Went for a wedding good venue
Beautiful and socially-active Roman Catholic Church. A leader in the local pro-life activism scene.
A beautiful place to celebrate The Faith.
A wonderful church to worship in, always packed and we will always go when back home in Indy. Father Nagel is wonderful.
Beautiful, oldest Catholic Church in Indianapolis.
Great place to worship, a beautiful church
Beautiful historic Catholic church in downtown Indy. The organ there is truly an amazing instrument to experience, and the choir is under excellent direction. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to attend mass.
I love this place.
Beautiful church
Beautiful church. Been a parishioner for almost 20 yrs.
Offered a 7 pm mass. Nice place to celebrate.
An absolute treasure of a church. This church has some of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Ive been around the Catholic block so to speak, and St.Johns Indy has made me a very happy and fulfilled person and has me eagerly looking forward to mass. Fr.Nagel is a gem in this treasure chest in the city, hes very kind, approachable, relevant, yet keeps it grounded and doesnt get too out there with the contemporary. Hes by far one of my all time favorite priests to hear. Im an organist and have been around playing for masses so Ive meet a lot of less than spectacular men of the cloth.Something also must be said for this space, it is absolutely gorgeous. In an era where places are trying to make the church feel like your living room with gaudy paintings, tacky fixtures, and worst of all CARPET. Its so wonderful to come to a place such as this and be welcomed in a dignified and respectable place of spiritual fulfillment. I would argue that this is the most beautiful space in the city of Indianapolis, maybe Sacred Heart is in that running too. Ive been to the Episcopal churches and the Catholic ones, and this has them beat. I highly recommend this church to all who have never been, and I speak highly of it to my friends and family. I love it so much here I drive up from Bloomington for mass.
I love this place.it feels right.
One of the most beautiful Catholic churches I have ever had the pleasure of entering.
Beautiful cathedral style church. This would be my top recommendation for a downtown Catholic worship center.
Great steak and bean soup.
In addition to the beautiful church, there is an active community within the parish to get involved with
Absolutely magnificent beauty and architecture! There true presence of Jesus is here!!!!!!
It is so peaceful in there.
I love the church, I love the architecture
Their awesome, they help anyone and everyone!
Nice, clean, and decent acoustics
Father Rick is the priest here and Im much obliged to say he is a great asset to this Cathedral. He is Young and approachable. The cathedral itself is beautiful, magnificent in architecture, as well as very authentic and original.
Beautiful Holy Place.
This church gives out food to the homeless Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. They definitely get my vote.
Beautiful place to worship
Beautiful historic church, just worth exploring and seeing all of the beauty
Beautiful artwork
July 4th. Daily Mass. Fr Larry Janesic visiting priest. Deacon wore running shoes in the sanctuary. Another extraordinary minister wore tee shirt/shorts in the sanctuary. Fr Janesic seemed like typical 70’s priest—talked about social justice but didn’t take the opportunity on Independence Day to talk about freedom from sin.Beautiful church. Beautiful high altar (although for some reason a flat table was used in preference to the high altar). Nice to see the tabernacle front and center on the high altar. Great access to the sacraments! Our family drove an hour from Columbus (because no Mass or confession in Columbus). Confession offered for an hour every day at St John’s! Daily Mass at 1210pm—this is a wonderful service to everyone who works in downtown Indy!The laity were very reverent and at least 3/4 of the communicants made a fervent thanksgiving after Mass. This is by far the most people I’ve ever seen making a good thanksgiving at a novus ordo parish. The pastor has obviously done a very good job catechizing the parish!
Excellent.
Beautiful church, vibrant young community, excellent priest and staff!
Beautiful church, very impressed
Beautiful building
Never been inside, Im not Catholic
Eligant church. Long history.
A very nice cathedral-like church with a lovely mass. The service was excellent here.My only complaints are that the pews were creaky and as a 64 guy, I had very limited leg room when kneeling.
Nice old church
It was a little unexpected finding a church near the center of downtown, but its a very cool place to worship.
