First completed in 1837, the current Cathedral is actually a second Church that was rebuilt circa 1860-62 after the first one was twice struck by lightning and condemned. Cathedral of the Good Shepherd (circa 1832) at ‘A’ Queen Street, and St. Joseph’s Church (1851) at 143 Victoria Street are two outstanding examples of Roman Catholic Churches on the island. |
