St. Patrick's Cathedral

St. Patrick's Cathedral is a modern church building located at the intersection of Donald and Archibald Streets in Thunder Bay, completed in 1964. The structure serves as the main worship space for the local Catholic community and features contemporary architectural elements.

The cathedral traces its origins to a Jesuit mission established in 1849 by French missionaries in the region. The building underwent complete reconstruction in the 1960s to create a larger modern worship space that stands today.

The cathedral serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community where people come together for worship and celebrate important religious occasions. It remains an active center of faith where visitors can observe daily religious practices and traditions.

Visitors can enter the building during religious services held on weekends when the doors are open to the public. It is helpful to check ahead for current service times, as these may vary seasonally.

The building was expanded in the 1960s through acquisition of additional land to create a larger sanctuary space for growing needs. This development allowed the congregation to replace the original structure with a spacious modern facility.
