The most beautiful, calming place. If you need holy water, bring a small container, they do not have out due to covid, it is to the left when you walk in, next to the confessionals.

St. Anthonys Chapel has the largest collection of Saints relics outside the VATICAN, and life size wood carved Stations of the Cross. A true Must see* for every Catholic who loves in or visits Pittsburgh!

Amazing church/chapel with tons and tons of artifacts (most are small) but beautiful church .

Beyond words. The stations of the cross, the decor, the ornamentation, the huge number of relics.. all make this a place you have to see to believe.

In recent months, I made a commitment to add Daily Mass into my spiritual routine. St Anthony’s Chapel is close to my house, therefore it made for a convenient commitment. Every time I attend, I am in awe at the beautiful rich Catholic history that sits within the chapel. Even if you are not of the Catholic Faith, I encourage you to either join us for Daily Mass or attend one of the scheduled tours. The experience will broaden your spiritual perspective and appreciation for this gem tucked away within a quiet Pittsburgh neighborhood.

Great experience. I really feel my Catholicism here ️

A beautiful church with the most relics I have ever seen.

Beautiful spending time with God and His saints. Very peaceful at these times.

This place is a treasure. Absolutely amazing. There are no words. If you are anywhere close by, it is definitely worth the time and effort to visit! All you holy men and women, ora pro nobis!

Wow. Its beautiful and has a wonderful story about the origin of the church and everything inside. I was more than pleasantly surprised.

Beautiful, it was like going into a church in the Holy City! Theres even a cool lil gift store!

Its a quiet place good for contemplation. The tour guide is mostly knowledgeable about the history of the place, not the relics themselves. I have been there twice, and will probably return again.

A must see to believe. Be sure to have a tour guide so you don’t miss the most sacred relics.

A local Catholic shrine in Pittsburgh. A must see inside. It has over 5000 relics. Only the Vatican has more. Stunning! Great museum across the street too!

This is a great Pilgrim site for the U.S. With over 5000 relics, this is the largest collection under one roof outside the Vatican. This Unfortunately there are no photos allowed inside.

A nice church with a lot of relics

This is a noteworthy shrine which is unassuming and hidden away. The priest who built this chapel in the 1860s collected relics in order to save them from enemies of the Catholic Faith during that time period. There are over 5000 1st and 2nd class relics at this holy site. Great guides who make the tour engaging and meaningful. Highly recommend to any Christian able to appreciate the value of relics and/or pilgrimage.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral. It has an incredible amount of relics, fill sized stations of the Cross, and a rich history. It truly is an amazing location for prayer and appreciation of Catholic beauty and tradition.

Definitely should stop by and sit through the tour. So many holy relics. Catholic focused but I think other Christians would enjoy the trip.

The chapel is gorgeous, the tour was wonderful, and the relics are stunning! This is a very peaceful and playful place. I highly recommend a mini or group pilgrimage here!

Wow! Just.....WOW! My entire family left speechless. To be surrounded by the saints in such a tangible way is breathtaking. Even now that Ive returned home, I cant quit telling people about it. I think this is worth a special trip to Pittsburgh. You have to see it. We had pizza from the hole in the wall down the street as a picnic in St. Anthonys parking lot. Its off the beaten path but well worth the journey.

One of Pittsburghs unique gems. One of the most amazing collection of holy relics.Each visit brings me peace.

They have five thousand relics from the beginning

Beautiful building.5000 Relics?Helpful and friendly volunteers.

Lovely chapel, gorgeous painted ceilings, choir loft, but thought the relics were so small and insignificant based on the size and cheap gilt frames. The statues of the martyrs reminded me of a Madame Tussauds display in a tourist area. It was a a nice experience for the 8 minutes I was there, glad I saw it, but wouldnt go back

Its interesting to a point I guess. But when you cant even see 95% of what they are calling relics its not much. I do find the potential fascinating, just not very well displayed.

The artificial are okay. Poor descriptors and ability to understand whats what. Gift shop is great. Docent at Museum kinda gets in the way and makes it about himself.

When the saints go marching in...

Historic and beautiful. Mass is great for my work schedule. Tuesdays at 730pm

A Very Holy Place in the City.Hidden in the older area of the city is St. Anthonys Chapel. The moment we entered the chapel, we can feel the atmosphere of sacredness, of calm and peace. The life-sized Station of the Cross was amazing. Too bad we were not allowed to take pictures. Going deeper into the chapel, we came into the heart of the chapel which housed 5000+ relics of Saints.While we were looking around, a lady approached us and offered to give us a tour of the chapel. She explained the story about how Fr. Suitbert Mollinger built the initial chapel to house his collection of relics. And then when he added the Station of the Cross, the original chapel did not have enough space, and it was extended to its current size. She also suggested us to visit the gift shop across the street and visit Fr. Mollingers museum on the 2nd floor.We spent some time in the chapel, praying to and with the Saints. How amazing that time was, the feeling that we were surrounded by 5000+ Saints. The reliquary of St. Anthony of Padua was very special, and was given a prominent place in a side altar. He was the Saint the chapel was named after.Then we crossed the street to visit the gift shop and the museum upstairs. We saw there some crutches from people who were healed from their ailments. For those who believe, this Chapel could be a place of healing too.This Chapel is a holy place which every one should not miss to visit. Make sure to note the Hours of Visitation which is 1:00 - 4:00 pm, but closed on Fridays and holidays.

Nice Church, lots of relics that belonged to saints. No pictures though, and you will need a guide since there are no displays that explain the artifacts.

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable! This is a real hidden gem!

Beautiful and worth seeing but Im sceptical about the authenticity. I mean how would you obtain 1,000s of tiny pieces of saints and place them in little charms?

Amazing collection of church relics. Nothing else like it in the world besides the Vatican in Rome. Docent gave a great history of Chapel and how all these relics got here from Europe.

Stop in if you get a chance! I used to live next door and would go to morning mass all the time. It has the most relics in one place outside of the Vatican and the Stations of the Cross are really nice. St. Anthonys is the standard by which I judgement other churches in terms of feeling like youre at Mass.

One of Pittsburghs best kept secrets. The largest collection of saints relics around and the life size stations of the cross are stunning!

One amazing place....5000 saint relics....only place on the planet with more is the Vatican which are not accessible to the public!

A must visit especially for members of the Catholic faith

Amazing chapel with over 5000 relics in beautiful handmade reliqueries. Almost every significant Gospel event and Saints are represented, like being surrounded in Heaven. The life-size stations of the cross statues are handmade wood over 100 years old. Amazing that a place like this is in the US and not Europe!

I light a candle and pray for that miracle from St Anthony and for good health.its a nice place to go.lots of miracles have happened in the past from the chappel.I hope my prayers are answered.

Unbelievable Place everybody should go there once

This is a beautiful chapel if youve never been there I highly suggest that used to it.

A really spiritual moment for us today. A lot to see and take in.

A must see for a unique experience for anyone, not just catholics.

Saint Anthonys chapel is gorgeous one-of-a-kind and I think the relics need to be more individually itemized so that people coming in know what relic is what cuz we dont know thank you saint Anthonys chapel is gorgeous one-of-a-kind and I think the relics need to be more individually itemized soda to people coming in know what relics is what cause we dont know thank you conscendo Poppy

Peaceful

This is a hidden gem, absolutely one of the most interesting things to do in Pittsburgh.

Beautiful Chapel, 2nd most relics in the world. Only the Vatican has more!

Wonderful church. Off the beaten path

What an experience, Beautiful Chapel. Everyone that can should visit it....

Beautiful church ️ and lots of great history and relics

I had a great time at this beautiful church. The tour was very informational and the relics were awesome!

Just simply in awe of the relics. A beautiful Chapel

One of the most beautiful chapels that I have ever been to.

Simple exterior, extraordinary inside.The story behind the priest, his he came across the relics, the relics themselves - everything is just amazing. There are life size wooden statues of the Stations created from wood from Bavaria - the best. Please note, that they do ask that you do not take pictures or videos. Apparently some people find it irresistible to do so, but please be respectful and do not take pictures or videos, no matter how tempting it is especially when facing first class relics from Jesus, St. Mary, St. Joseph, and the Apostles among others.

Words can not describe this beautiful chapel, you will be amazed enlightned and humbled. I thank the late Fr. Suitbert Mollinger for his lifes work, Im sure he ia a saint in our Lords heart.

Timeless beauty! And with lots of Relics gathered at the time of persecution in Europe!!

Most beautiful church ever

Peaceful and Wonderful Place. Many Holy Relics here. You can come to pray or to review the remarkable collection of relics housed here.

No other place like this in the world. Over 5000 relics of the saints and hand carved life sized Stations of the Cross. A truly wonderful place to see and pray. Even more than 3 stars!

Beautiful & well cared for piece of history. A must see in Pittsburgh! Holy relics!

A historic gem

Beautiful interior. Friendly Priest.

One of Americas most well hidden gems. St. Anthonys Chapel has over 5,200 Holy Relics, including pieces of the Crown of Thorns, the Holy Cross, and the table at which the Last Supper was held. Second only to the Vatican in collection of Holy Relics, you would be doing yourself a great favor in visiting this chapel once. There are tours constantly. Visit the gift shop across the street.

Another amazing and unique jewel open to all in Pittsburgh, PA.Very warm and welcoming place to pray and to contemplate the legacy the many men and womem of the Catholic faith have left for us.

Beautiful, a must see.

Oh wow do they have a lot of relics. The man doing the tour seemed very angry (passionate) though and at times felt like he was talking down to people or even calling everyone out for not knowing more about the church. He was still informative. Im not religious and I thought it was great. You should check it out for educational purposes even if youre not religious. Very cool place.

Wow. As soon as I stepped foot in the chapel an enormous amount of tranquility came over me. Im not particularly religious, and originally came here to do a story on the place; It was kindof disappointing that the story flopped due to their no photo/video policy and I wasnt able to visually share this greatness with others, but it was definitely understandable considering the peace of the atmosphere alone. Its something you can only appreciate first hand. I walked in and marveled at the relics, listened to the tour, and then sat in complete silence and peace for a good 45 minutes, and it was the best moment of silence Ive ever had. I consider this one of Pittsburghs most precious hidden gems.

Historic Biblical Relics

Wonderful Holy place, I plan on returning and spending more time there. They have relics from all of the Apostles, Mary, a piece of the true cross, St Joseph...

Beautiful and very spiritual, calming

Historical Beauty. Love you Grandma and Grandpa

Magnificent and unique.

Very beautiful inside. My friend works there

This is a must-see in Pittsburgh. the Chaple has the second largest collection of religious artifacts next to the Vatican. Life-size Stations of the Cross and much more.

It is definitely spiritually moving
