St. Paul's Cathedral, Roman Catholic co-cathedral in downtown Saskatoon, Canada
St. Paul's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral in downtown Saskatoon situated where 22nd Street East meets Spadina Crescent. Built with Romanesque stone architecture, it overlooks the South Saskatchewan River with its substantial brick and stone exterior.
The cornerstone was placed in 1910 by Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and the building was consecrated the following year. The cathedral was constructed during a period when Saskatoon was expanding rapidly and needed new religious facilities.
The cathedral's stained glass windows cast colored light throughout the interior, honoring those lost in World War II and in a fire that occurred years later. These works shape how light moves through the space and set a reflective mood for visitors.
The building sits in a central location and is easily accessible from main streets in the downtown area. Visitors should know that services occur at different times throughout the week and the interior is open for viewing.
Two paintings of Saints Peter and Paul, originally from a closed church in Blaine Lake, were brought to the cathedral in 2019. These artworks connect the history of other religious sites in the region to this place.
