HWelcome to this website and the glimpses it offers of our wonderful Cathedral. The first building was 
consecrated in 1665 and accommodated 300 worshippers. That building was destroyed by Hurricane in 1780. The present building was completed in 1789 and was damaged (not destroyed) again by Hurricane in 1831. The Lady Chapel is in the new extension eastward from the High Altar and was consecrated in 1938. The present Cathedral seats approximately 1600 persons and boasts of having the best and largest pipe organ in the Caribbean.
VISION STATEMENT: “To be a guiding light of Christ’s grace, justice, freedom and love.”
THEME FOR THE WEEK: “Our expectancy of the Lord’s coming is what keeps life interesting.”
