What to do and see in Finger Lakes, Finger Lakes: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

February 3, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

New York’s Finger Lakes region takes its name from 11 freshwater lakes placed like a handprint between Lake Ontario and the Pennsylvania border. Skiing, hiking and biking trails traverse the landscape; visitors can also indulge in various wine, cheese and beer trails. The area offers a culinary bounty, with an emphasis on farm-to-table cuisine. Rich history and culture are found throughout the region, with one attraction more inviting than the next.

Sacred Heart Cathedral

Reviewed By elcentro1 - Pittsburgh, United States

As practicing Catholics, when we visit big cities, we enjoy visiting the local diocesan Roman Catholic cathedrals, and try to make daily or Sunday Mass. We planned a trip from Pittsburgh to Canandaigua for a Finger Lakes getaway. We knew that we would be going near Rochester to get to Canandaigua. So we decided to check out the City of Rochester and see the highlights first. We were fortunate that we were able to not only check out this beautiful cathedral, but also go to noon Mass there. The priest made an announcement before Mass about the COVID-19 precautions all Mass attendees must take, especially in regards to receiving Holy Communion. We both felt safe and were both able to receive the Body of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. I was a bit surprised that they did not have permanent pews, but movable chairs instead. Yet, in times like these, being able to move chairs to promote social distancing is not a bad thing. Highly recommended if you are Catholic (and even if you are not Catholic) and love magnificent architecture, and are looking for a parish to attend Mass while visiting Rochester.
