Perth Longest Church! In Victoria Square!๐Ÿ˜

The House we can always go to, where everyone can come in, no one is exempted. To talk to the one above. Find peace, strength and will. Opened and blessed on January 29, 1865. Benedictine Oblate Brother Joseph Ascione designed the cathedral in the Norman Gothic style. The cathedral's walls were built from clay bricks from a property in Adelaide Terrace. Location: The cathedral is at the centre of Victoria Square, on the northern end of Victoria Avenue, Perth, Western Australia. FUN FACT: 1. It's the longest church in Australia. Unlike most other cathedrals, it's oriented north to south, rather than east to west. The original cathedral was destroyed by fire in 1865 โ€“ only the choir bells escaped damage. 2. Crypt in the basement of St Mary's Cathedral Basilica, built to house the remains of Archbishop Kelly after his death. The crypt is highlighted by the terrazzo floor created by the Melocco Brothers in 1934. 3. n 2006, after the closure of the cathedral for construction, the remains of Perth's first bishops were found beneath floorboards in the aisle, marked only by a small cross carved in the boards.[14] As part of the restoration works, a permanent crypt for Perth's dead bishops was to be constructed underneath the altar.[14] The remains of Perth's first bishop, John Brady, were exhumed in 2011 from his grave in France and a few months later he was laid to rest in the crypt of St Mary's Cathedral.[15] St Mary's Cathedral, Perth, officially the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Perth, and seat of its Archbishop, currently Timothy Costelloe. #westernaustralia #westernaustralia #awesomepic #church #perthchurch #sundayvibes
