St Mary’s Cathedral has just celebrated its 150th anniversary. Benedictine Oblate Brother Joseph Ascione designed the cathedral in the Norman gothic style. The cathedral’s walls were built from clay bricks from a property in Adelaide Terrace. Between 1897 and 1910, alterations were made to the cathedral to emphasise its gothic character, including the addition of a spire to its bell tower. The cathedral was blessed and opened on January 29, 1865.
