Holy Family Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in University Heights, Saskatchewan, Canada
Holy Family Cathedral is a modern religious building in Saskatoon featuring expansive windows that flood the interior with natural light. The structure combines contemporary design with sacred functions and accommodates gatherings of various sizes.
The building was constructed in the early 2010s and opened in 2011, marking one of the newest religious structures in the city. Its construction represented a shift toward modern architectural approaches in the region's religious infrastructure.
The cathedral stands on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis, reflecting historical ties to the indigenous peoples of the region. Visitors can sense this connection woven into the building and its space.
Visitors should know the space is designed to accommodate different event sizes and welcomes casual exploration. The large windows make the location bright and welcoming during daylight hours, particularly in the morning or midday.
The building uses 1,000 photovoltaic cells embedded in 54 colored glass panels, an innovation that contributes to powering the space. This blend of religious function with solar energy was uncommon in North America when completed.
