Holy Family has beautiful internal architecture & decor -- stained-glass ("Jerry") windows; carved & painted wood Stations of the Cross; marble / stone alcoves & statues for both St. Christopher and the Virgin Mary, each accompanied by cherubim; marble/stone accents & ornate (gold?) Eucharist "tabernacle"; and detailed (carved ..Gothic-style?) wooden rear deco of the altar space... Classic -- and numbered, I noticed! -- divided pews with integrated (modern-cushioned) kneeling benches..
Being my first visit, I was unsure re parking, so instead of "street-side", I opted for the neighbouring parking lot (south of the church, entry on Manning Rd., before the junction with Brompton).
The Priest was a kindly gentleman, and between himself & the primary Reader, the entire 11am service was clearly audible. The church was not full (plenty of parking-lot parking available, yet many just parked on the street), but there was a sizable congregation. Overall, a good experience, especially for the architecture & decor.

Traditional RC church, small bench seats , ok when you are young. Typical acoustic reverberation of this type of church making sermons difficult to follow for people with less than perfect hearing. Otherwise a good church with a decent sized event room for functions.

It's a Roman Catholic Church. Being of no faith, I sometimes find church going very tedious, however this was a Christening, and the priests sense of humour shone through and made for a light hearted atmosphere and a very bearable ceremony.
