St Patrick's Cathedral[1] (also referred to asBunbury Cathedral) is a religious building which is the main place of Catholic worship[2] in the city ofBunbury,[3]Western Australia, and is the seat of the Bishop of theDiocese of Bunbury.
The first stone was laid in 1919. The church was opened for worship two years later, as a parish church. In 1954 it was elevated to a cathedral byPope 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.
