St John's Cathedral

St John's Cathedral features Gothic Revival architecture with red brick construction, tall spires, and multiple interior stained glass windows depicting biblical stories.

The cathedral's construction began in 1856 under architect Philip Charles Hardwick, with the first Mass celebrated in March 1859 and final consecration in 1894.

The cathedral maintains regular religious services, hosts community gatherings, and preserves numerous relics associated with Catholic saints throughout its halls.

Visitors can attend daily masses, participate in ceremonies, access live-streamed services, and contact the cathedral office through phone or email for information.

The cathedral's altar incorporates Limerick marble in its construction and presents a detailed illustration of Abraham's biblical sacrifice.
