Above you can see the entrance to the Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul from "Vene" which is the street name.
Here you can see inside the courtyard:
And here is a close-up of the inscription:
"This is truly the house of God and the gate of heaven. Built 1844. Renewed 1924."
A few shots from the Mass:
In the sacristy afterwards, the excellent team of servers, guided by MC René. Fr Ivo arranged everything for Mass.

Father,
The Latvians all drop to their knees before receiving Communion. with or without kneelers. [I have this on good authority]
Are the Estonians also kneeling Catholics?
k.c.
All the ones I met were!
Hello Father.
I've read that Fr. Ivo Ounpuu who you have met at Tallinn Cathedral is an SSPX Priest, who was ordained in Zaitskofen, the German Seminary of the SSPX, and I've read this on SSPX materials showing pictures of him with SSPX Bishops. But he seems now to be in the diocesan clergy of Estonia, so I wonder if he has quit the SSPX. Did he mention to you during your trip in Estonia something about his past or present involvment in the SSPX?
Best regards.
Georges-Henri - I think that Fr Ounpuu was part of the SSPX but I am not sure what his present status is. He was working in full co-operation with the Apostolic Administrator of Estonia when I was there.
