[edit] Cathedral

Consecrated on April 6, 1854 the Cathedral of Saint John and Saint Finbar was the original motherchurch of the diocese. On December 11, 1861, it was destroyed in a fire that consumed most of the city. The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist was built to replace the original and sits on the foundation of the ruins.[5]
