Catholic Diocese of Bunbury

The new St Patrick's Cathedral precinct was officially opened in March 2011. The precinct was extensively damaged by a destructive tornado in May 2005, resulting in the old cathedral being damaged beyond repair. The new cathedral, with its soaring bell tower and glass spire, is now a Bunbury landmark. One of its many other features is the enormous side windows painted by world-renowned artist Robert Juniper. Building the new cathedral was a rare event and this iconic community asset will play a vital role in the spiritual and social fabric of the South West.
