Going to this cathedral I combined two goals: I am a newcomer in Canada and wanted to see how local masses are held here and how local churches differed from those in my homeland... and the second reason, I had long dreamed of listening to a live performance on a real good organ. And I won’t hide that this reason was in the first place for me.
On Sunday mornings, masses are held here, and the organ of 9000 pipes takes place too... and it was very pleasant moments. Not a full concert, but even so, between parts of the mass I really liked what this musical instrument is capable of. And I want more... now I want to go to a real concert.
As for this basilica: a very pleasant calm feeling, I was very impressed by the stained glass windows and quite liked the way the local priests conducted their mass.
I’ll probably repeat what some YouTube authors advise to newcomers to the country: if you’re feeling stressed (probably useful for tourists too)... go to a place like this, even just to sit and relax... the surrounding atmosphere and the deep sound of amazing organ music are quite capable of calming the accumulated stress and restarting emotions.
P.S.: Many thanks to the priest who served here and then moved to Bedford, where I met him. He recommended me this place and told about it.
