St. Paul's Cathedral is a brick and fieldstone church built in 1894–1895, with a chancel and transepts added in 1905–06.

A Lady Chapel stands to the liturgical and geographical south of the chancel, and a columbarium occupies the crypt.
The parish dates from Regina's founding in 1882, when the church site was bought; a wooden frame church opened in 1883. The present brick and fieldstone building went up in 1894–1895, with a chancel and transepts added in 1905–06. It became pro-cathedral of the Diocese of Qu'Appelle in 1944, replacing St Peter's, Qu'Appelle, and was raised to cathedral status in 1973 once a planned grand cathedral at Broad Street and College Avenue proved unfeasible.
The parish was founded in 1882, when the townsite of Regina was laid out and the church site bought; the present building was raised as a parish church in 1894–95.

The building seats about 300 people.
The crypt holds a columbarium, and the Lady Chapel sits to the liturgical and geographical south of the chancel. The parish bought the site in 1882, the year Regina was founded, and the present church is the oldest building in the city still in use.
