The St Patrick's Cathedral[1] or just Bunbury Cathedral is the name given to a religious building which is the main place of Catholic worship[2] in the city of Bunbury,[3] 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.[4] The new St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in five years and was dedicated on March 17, 2011 by Bishop Gerard Holohan.
