Pro-Cathedral of the Assumption, Limestone pro-cathedral in North Bay, Canada.
The Pro-Cathedral of the Assumption is a limestone church in North Bay with white stone cladding and a foundation built from local granite. The building features a prominent tower and continues to serve as an active parish church.
Construction began in 1904 when Father David Joseph Scollard initiated the expansion to accommodate the growing population of the town. The development was driven by railway expansion that brought workers and settlers to the region.
The church functions as a community gathering space where visitors and local residents meet for worship and social events throughout the week. This active use shows how the building remains central to the life of the neighborhood.
The building welcomes visitors throughout the week with regular services and community gatherings. Access is straightforward and visitors can explore the exterior freely or attend events hosted by the parish.
The building features a single tower instead of the two towers typically found on traditional cathedral structures. This distinctive design makes it instantly recognizable and gives it a unique presence in the town's skyline.
