Access to St. Peter’s Cathedral during
Victoria Park Events
​The downtown festivals and events in Victoria Park will start soon! While these events provide a wonderful opportunity for the community to engage in fun and entertainment in the park, they can also present a challenging traffic situation in the Cathedral neighbourhood. During weekends when there are events in the park, additional Cathedral security will be in place to help parishioners with access to our parking lots. Please ensure you allow yourself extra time to navigate additional traffic downtown.
Access to St. Peter’s Cathedral during
Victoria Park Events
The work on the East and West towers is nearing completion. This work involved replacing both roofs of the East and West towers and installing stair access. The completion of this Capital project marks the culmination of over 20 years of exterior Capital work. Over the years, various repairs were undertaken to ensure the long-term sustainability of this historic structure and to enhance the Cathedral’s beauty and sacred mission.
What’s Next…
Work is moving forward on the important interior restoration projects for the Cathedral itself. We are in the final stage of selecting an Architect to support the comprehensive restoration work that includes repairing and painting walls and ceilings, furniture and finish upgrades, and electrical and mechanical improvements. Details will be shared with the parish community in the coming months.
At the same time, leadership is beginning to explore future possibilities for the land adjacent to the Cathedral. This work is still in the early planning stages as we carefully discern how the space can best serve the needs of the Cathedral, the Diocese, and our broader Catholic community for generations to come.
Thank you for keeping these efforts in your prayers as we move into this important new chapter in the life of our Cathedral!
