St Paul's Cathedral

Church Find welcomes St Paul's Cathedral in Bendigo, who engaged in a revitalisation journey enriching the community, for all their latest times and information including times.

WELCOME to St Paul's Anglican Cathedral Bendigo, a beautiful historic place of worship in down-town Bendigo.

We are a community of diverse people committed to growing in the Christian faith, caring for each other and reaching out into the world in which we live.

St Paul’s Cathedral was designed by goldfields architect, Robert A. Love. The nave was dedicated in November 1868. The 30-metre high tower housing a peal of eight bells was completed in 1873. The chancel and transepts were added in 1927, completing Love’s original design vision.

The Cathedral boasts many beautiful features. Its splendid ceiling rises to almost 20 metres with its ornamented semi-circular cusps. Outstanding stained glass windows fill the space with the light of God. Several beautiful wooden sculptures adorn the Cathedral: Madonna and Child by Leopoldine Mimevich in the MacCullagh Chapel, St Peter and St Paul by Ola Cohn in the niches of the sanctuary panelling, and The Crucified Jesus with Mary and John, which is high on the west wall. Below the east window is an opus-sectile (mosaic) reredos of the Last Supper. The organ case, with its colourful pipes, was re-built in 1957.

St Paul’s became the Cathedral of the Diocese of Bendigo in 1981.
