Saint Mary's Cathedral

Story

St Mary's Cathedral, Perth, officially the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Perth, and seat of its Archbishop, currently Timothy Costelloe.The cathedral is at the centre of Victoria Square, on the northern end of Victoria Avenue, Perth, Western Australia.The cathedral as it now stands was constructed in three main phases, with the first phase completed in 1865. Plans were drawn up for the replacement of the cathedral in the 1920s with a larger Perpendicular Gothic edifice. However, construction was interrupted by the onset of the Great Depression, leaving a new transept and sanctuary, with the aisle of the original cathedral as its nave. After 70 years incomplete, and portions of the cathedral requiring extensive repair work, funds were eventually raised in the late 1990s and early 2000s for the completion of the expansion. A new curved design for the expansion was created, and featured a second spire and underground parish centre. The cathedral closed for construction in 2006, and reopened in December 2009.HistoryThe first Roman Catholic church in the colony was St John's Pro-Cathedral on Victoria Avenue. The colony eventually outgrew this small church, and the local Bishop expressed an interest in constructing a "more worthy Cathedral".

I attended a guided tour at Saint Mary's Cathedral in Perth and was thoroughly impressed. The stained glass windows are absolutely breathtaking, and the guide provided fascinating insights into the cathedral's history and architecture. A must-visit for anyone interested in Perth's heritage and art!
Beautiful Catholic Cathedral built by monks. Peaceful inside. Church organs have fantastic sound. It would be nice to see the extension cladded in sandstone to look like an integral part of the whole cathedral.
Great mother church in Perth you shouldn't miss out. Car park underground and ground, cafe is near in RPH, always enjoyed healthy hot food, best chips ever! Eat them on the Cathedral lawn. Donation by your card. Lovely place.
Absolutely gorgeous cathedral. The echo throughout is awesome and so many beautiful statues to see inside. I love the colourful church windows with all the inscriptions on them. Fr Kenneth is such a lovely Priest, he is genuine and his homily’s are great to listen to.
Such a beautiful grand cathedral. It has similar characteristics to those in Europe. Its interior features a mixture of modern and classic design. Inside, you will find a wonderful souvenir/gift shop with friendly staff and serene water features. Outside hosts a beautiful manicured garden, lots of car parking space above ground & also underground too. It's definitely a place for Sunday Mass, Weddings, Holy Communions, and so much more.
