The Cathedral was absolutely beautiful and everything we expected. The interactive video was very well done. Given the truth and reconciliation recommendation by our Federal government I was a disappointed by the lack of recognition of our indigenous people in this video. Much like our educational system has done, I would like to see this video adapted to include this very important part of our history. Thank you for the tour. I look to the adapted video on my return out East.

An wonderfully designed and though out interpretation centre dedicated to the Acadian people of the 21st century. Housed in the, still operational, Notre-Dame-de-L’Assomption cathedral, innovative technology is used to tell the Acadian story of the region. This was definitely the highlight of my visit to Moncton!
My guide, Ginette Pellerin, was incredibly knowledgeable and it turned out she also created a film, “ON A BÂTI UNE CATHÉDRALE”, about the cathedral and its Acadian history! That film started the ball rolling to preserve the cathedral.
A very worthy project to not only preserve the church and its unique architectural aspects but also as a monument to the Acadian people and their heritage.

I’m so glad I went in! I was shown round this amazing building by the very knowledgeable and charming Lea - in between which was a very clever, modern and enjoyable 25 minute digital presentation about the cathedral, its founder and its Acadian roots. In an air conditioned room!
Absolutely fascinating, and a must if you want to know about this important aspect of Moncton, and NB in general.

This was my First time going into the Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral. It was beautiful. The art work of the stain glass to the mosaic was stunning. Our tour guid was very nice and full of information. There are some interactive stations that go into some detail and history of the stain glass. Along with the tour there is a, 20 min 360 project video. This was beautifully done going threw the history of the priest and the Cathedral. This a must for any history buffs out there. It's not just a Beautiful church it also shares the history of its culture and heritage of Acadian to Moncton. I am an English protestant that grew up in Moncton, it was a great history lesson for me and loved it. Will be going back with my son and also with family that will be visiting from out west. So glad they were able to save this historic church.

I had the chance to visit the cathedral on a free admission day during March break with my granddaughter. The digital installations are a unique way to learn more about the cathedral and the Acadian community. We recommend it to people interested in history and heritage.

Really interesting tour and the immersive projection was amazing! Unique details in this cathedral like the women depicted in beautiful stain glass windows and the presence of natives and local industries. My son really enjoyed the detective activity! Thanks!
