So beautiful. This gorgeous Cathedral totally captures the love, mercy and appreciation for all life as bestowed on humankind by God Our Father. Daily mass with faithful followers of “The Way” was a highlight of our vacation. The family that prays together stays together. The stained glass windows with statements of faith written in French reflect the faith, hope and love of past generations that trusted. Let us take a lesson from the history books! Come to see and experience this beautiful home of God.

I was the visitor of the town, and went for the service. Very friendly Priests and Parishioners. Attended 11 am Sunday mass. Choir was excellent. The church is beautiful. Serene. The Cemetery is creatively managed and the 500 years old Oak tree has it's own special place . By luck, it was the Parish family picnic on 3rd November 2019. I was warmly welcomed by the Priests and Police Marshal. Had a good time and tasty food all for free.

This is a beautiful, and historic church in downtown Lafayette. We are fortunate that this church is open to the public, so you can see how beautiful it is. There is a beautiful, huge oak tree outside, that you can’t get close to. Come inside, take a seat, and take in the beauty of this church. This place is full of history, and the detail work in this church is amazing. I highly recommend that you come in and visit this church.

It is such a beautiful cathedral, the stained glass windows are so exquisite! The people are very friendly. We enjoyed watching almost the whole service. I didn't take pictures inside out of reverence for the ongoing service (I do regret it now). The nearly five hundred year cathedral old oak stands right beside, it's a wonder to behold. The graveyard is very interesting. It's worth a stop if you passing through Lafayette, LA.

We did not attend any service, just visiting the church. Beautiful cathedral. The stain glass and architecture is so beautiful. Lovely place to visit, so serene. The cemetery was interesting to walk thru. Stop and check out the live oak tree next to the cathedral. The entire grounds, outside and inside the cathedral, the cemetery and tree are all very beautiful and worth the time to stop and visit.

Second time here. Last time was 2013. We had to go back to see it and show my brother and sister in law. It is so impressive. When you first pull up it's like oh, it's a big tree. Then you start to realize just how big it really is. You end up walking all the way around it trying to photo it in a way you can convey to others how impressive it is. Would recommend this to anyone.
