The cruciform layout and central spire give this Mid-Levels cathedral a different scale from the banking towers below. Opened in 1888, it contains altars transferred from the earlier Wellington Street church. Those surviving furnishings make the move uphill tangible, linking the present building with the growing nineteenth-century Catholic community and its previous home.
What to look for
Four chapels include the Chinese Martyrs and All Souls chapels.
Look for the English Gothic forms around the central spire.
Useful to know
Contact the cathedral before a sightseeing visit; prayer and worship access serve a different purpose.
Include the uphill approach to Caine Road when planning a visit from Central.
