Saints Mary and Joseph Catholic Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Armidale, Australia.

Saints Mary and Joseph Catholic Cathedral is a Gothic-style church of dark brown brick with lighter stone trim at 132 Dangar Street, Armidale. A tall tower with a pointed spire, three tiers of narrow arched openings and a clock face stands beside a long steeply pitched roof with small gabled dormers and crosses. The front gable holds a large pointed-arch window with tracery above a recessed entrance.

The first Catholic service in Armidale took place in 1848 and marked the beginning of a church community in this region. The present building was constructed from 1911 to 1912 and replaced earlier makeshift gatherings.

The sandstone pointed arches at the entrance and the internal sandstone pillars are known as Pyrmont Sandstone, a detail linking the cathedral to a Sydney quarry. The Daly family, who donated the land, are buried in the Old Catholic cemetery about 50 metres south of Lynches Road, named after Dean Lynch.

The cathedral stands at 132 Dangar Street, on the corner of Dangar and Barney streets, behind a low brick and stone fence. The recessed entrance sits under the large pointed-arch window of the front gable. It is an active diocesan cathedral, so visitors should time their arrival around services.

The sandstone pointed arches at the entrance and the internal sandstone pillars are known as Pyrmont Sandstone, linking the cathedral to a Sydney quarry district. The land was donated by Joseph and Mary Daly, who had migrated from Ireland; Mary died in 1870, the year the first cathedral's foundation stone was laid.
