Having frequented St. Boniface Cathedral for over a decade, this place holds a special significance for me. Whether attending mass services, participating in grade 12 retreats, celebrating graduation ceremonies, or simply bringing visitors to marvel at its beauty and capture memorable photos, each visit has left a lasting impression.

The cathedral stands as a magnificent testament to historical craftsmanship, exuding a timeless beauty that is perfect for various occasions, including picturesque weddings that can be booked by the hour. Scheduled mass services all in French in the morning and evening add to its charm in the St. Boniface Neighborhood (the heart of the Franco-Manitoban community, it stands as the largest francophone community in Western Canada) and spiritual ambiance.

Situated conveniently close to the Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum, Bishop's house, Université de Saint-Boniface, and offering sweeping views across the river. There's a small dock that you can sit on the stairs at just across the street if you want to sit by the river.
