St Patrick's Cathedral - East Melbourne |
St Patrick's Cathedral. Mother Church of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne and one of the architectural glories of Melbourne.
The William Wardell designed St Patrick's Cathedral was consecrated in 1897, but Mass was first held in an incomplete church on the site in 1858.
St Patrick's is internationally regarded as a pre-eminent example of the Gothic Revival style ecclesiastical architecture.
St Patrick's is an integral part of Melbourne, and its history tells us much about the State's birth and growth. Situated on the fringe of the city grid, close enough to the heart of Melbourne to be a powerful presence and breathe with a life of its own.
The beauty of the Cathedral speaks of the glory of God. Its peace reaches to our innermost heart, and its welcome to those who pass by is of a God who is ever compassionate to us, his people.
We are delighted to share a precious part of our faith, culture and heritage with you.
