St Patrick's Cathedral, Bunbury

St Patrick's Cathedral[1] (also referred to as Bunbury Cathedral) is a religious building which is the main place of Catholic worship[2] in the city of Bunbury,[3] Western Australia, and is the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Bunbury.

The church was opened for worship two years later, as a parish church.

In 1954 it was elevated to a cathedral by Pope Pius XII, when the Catholic Diocese of Bunbury was established.

[4] On 16 May 2005, a tornado devastated the city, damaging the cathedral to the point of requiring demolition.

[5] The new St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in five years and was dedicated on 17 March 2011, by Bishop Gerard Holohan.
