  • Came to the midday service for ashes back in 2017 on Ash Wednesday. The cathedral was quite packed! The media was even present. They do love their media coverage here in this part of the world...

  • Unpretentious yet stately, we enjoyed a lovely service here and were welcomed by the local people… It’s a wonderful stop on our Georgetown running tour!

  • I was impressed with the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception! It was a beautiful place to visit and I felt really spiritual while I was there. The architecture was really impressive and the setting was really peaceful. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting this place if you're looking for a beautiful religious experience.
  • I am proud Catholic Christian. A God fearing man. This is an amazing and stunning building. At the end of the day we must understand that us the people (worshippers). We are the the church. We all have our callings. The services here is the best by far. I always feel closer to God and more alive. The fathers here are very educated by the Bible and understand what they preach. I must admit that anyone is welcomed here No one is ridiculed or shunned. I've seen Muslims, the Rasta community, Hindus and others enter here. Once you've received your calling and you come here. You're always welcomed. Thank you and stay safe. Amen.
  • It's Very Beautiful And Blessed to be there
  • Lovely architecture. Very clean. It has an atmosphere of reverence which was very welcome for anyone wanting to spend time in prayer. Acoustics could be enhanced as it's a bit difficult to hear what the reader is reading. Like anywhere else guard your personal belongings as bandits do not respect the house of the Lord. But beautiful, very beautiful.
  • I love it
