cathedral of st john the evangelist印象

This cathedral is an amazing architectural feat. The steeple reaches so high, it looks as if it is kissing Heaven. The stained glass within is spectacular. It is an awe-inspiring sight for Catholics, Protestants, such as myself, and even atheists who enjoy good architecture. Outside, there was an amazing oak, which was so huge, it looked like an entire kingdom of elves could live within. Maybe they do! Behind the cathedral, there is a graveyard filled with beautiful stone graves which are above ground and caringly manicured by relatives. It is refreshingly old-fashioned after seeing Forest Lawn and other such burial sites which attempt to hide the truth of their purpose. A truly lovely church.

This is a must see when visiting Lafayette, La. The church was built in 1821 on donated land in the area which is predominatly Roman Catholic. We were impressed with the large oak tree that is estimated to be over 450 years old. There is a museum and gift shop next door and the cemetery located behind the Church was alsomof interest.

Beautiful church in the heart of Lafayette. This church has a lovely garden featuring a 400 year old live oak tree. A great place to take a picture.

It is a beautiful church but the acoustics made it difficult to hear the priest. Everyone was very friendly.

We came to visit the cemetery while in town on a family matter because a family member is fascinated with old graves.It turns out to be a historical church on a beautiful piece of property in "Acadiana".

Take your camera! This is mouth dropping! An amazing specimen of a live oak tree. Walk around it, view the cemetery on one side of it then visit the church on another side of it.

Beautiful Christmas lighting display. Drove by during the Christmas Holidays and enjoyed the architectural beauty of the Cathedral and other buildings.
