Sacred Heart Cathedral, Broken Hill, Catholic cathedral in Broken Hill, Australia
The Sacred Heart Cathedral features silver quarry stone construction and stands as the main religious building of the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes.
Consecrated in 1905, the cathedral replaced an earlier Gothic-style church built in 1887 when Pope Leo XIII established the Diocese of Wilcannia.
The cathedral reflects the strong Catholic presence in Broken Hill, serving approximately 5,500 parish members across an extensive territory of 414,398 square kilometers.
Located at 31°57′12″S 141°27′30″E, the cathedral maintains regular services under the leadership of Bishop Columba Macbeth-Green of the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes.
The construction materials came from local silver mines, with North silver mines of Broken Hill donating the quarry stone used throughout the building.
