Description

Cathedrals in Australia - St Patrick's Cathedral, Bunbury

The St Patrick's Cathedral or just Bunbury Cathedral is the name given to a religious building which is the main place of Catholic worship in the city of Bunbury, Australia, and is the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Bunbury.

The first stone was laid in 1919. The church was opened for worship only two years later, as a parish church. In 1954 he was elevated to a cathedral by Pope Pius XII, while the Catholic Diocese of Bunbury was established.

On May 16, 2005, a tornado devastated the city, damaging the cathedral to the point of being required demolition. The new St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in five years and was dedicated on March 17, 2011 by Bishop Gerard Holohan.

For more information, see the Wikipedia entry.

Denomination: Roman Catholic
Founded: 1919

Tried to do a selfie but got blinded by the sun and got the corner of my head and bottom of St Patrick’s. I’ve been meaning to get this for quite awhile now.

The jinta mob has been a bit lacking in cache finds lately so Mrs jinta decided that a weekend away was in order to try and grab a few caches while exploring this area! We headed towards Bunbury grabbing a few GCA caches along the way and had an absolute blast collecting caches this weekend. Fave points will be awarded when deserved, thanks for putting this cache out. Cheers and TFTC.

Thought I'd get out and about before I have to spend the day driving around after my son and then up and down a ladder.

This cathedral has always been a standout up here on the hill. Been to a few weddings here over the years
