More than 160 years ago, the people of Saint John built a great cathedral. Built during years of religious tensions; waves of Irish immigrants pouring into the province; a cholera epidemic; and a country on the verge of Confederation, the Cathedral was a testament to the determination of a young city to thrive. It stood as the highest structure for miles around – a beacon reminding the people of their Irish heritage.

We are determined to secure our heritage for generations to come.

Restoration projects For the first time in generations, the cathedral’s 24,000-square-foot roof was replaced. This was a major priority to prevent further damage to the cathedral’s interior due to water infiltration.

The original plaster ceiling had suffered. As a result, scaffolding in the cathedral's interior has been installed. This provides a protective temporary "ceiling." This allows a regular schedule of worship and other events to continue at the cathedral.
