St. Patrick Cathedral in Fort Worth

St. Patrick Cathedral features traditional Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and detailed stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes throughout its interior spaces.

Construction began in 1888 under architect James J. Kane's design, with the cathedral's dedication occurring in 1892 and later becoming the diocesan seat when Fort Worth Diocese was established in 1969.

The cathedral serves as the spiritual center for Fort Worth's Catholic community, hosting daily masses, sacramental ceremonies, weddings, confirmations, and special liturgical celebrations throughout the ecclesiastical calendar year.

Located at 1206 Throckmorton Street, the cathedral offers regular worship services, guided tours, and features nearby parking facilities for visitors attending religious services or exploring the historic building.

The cathedral's interior scenes were filmed for the 1990 comedy movie 'Problem Child,' marking its appearance in popular culture alongside its recognition as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
