St Patrick's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Bunbury, Australia.
Description
St Patrick's Cathedral is a Catholic place of worship located on Money Street and serves as the main religious center for Catholics in Bunbury with tall stained glass windows and limestone walls. The building accommodates visitors and hosts regular religious services throughout the week.
History
The building began as a parish church in 1919 and was constructed in 1921 using limestone gathered by the community. A tornado in 2005 destroyed the original structure, which was then rebuilt and rededicated between 2005 and 2011.
Culture
The building displays fourteen stained glass windows designed by Robert Juniper that fill the interior with shifting patterns of light. These windows shape the daily experience for those who gather here to worship and represent a form of local artistic expression.
Practical
The cathedral is open to visitors and holds regular services, so you can view the stained glass and interior at various times. It helps to check the service schedule before planning a visit.
Did you know?
The community played an active role in building the original structure by personally gathering limestone blocks. This hands-on involvement made the church a true community project.
