About	St Mary's Cathedral was established in local sandstone, with the Gothic Revival style architecture. The church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title of Immaculate Mother of God. It features flying buttresses of the chancel and nave, one of the oldest and unique design styles featuring outside of the building. St Mary's Cathedral's interior has the white pinnacles of the High Altar Screen. By 1881, the church was installed with stained-glass windows, crafted in the Hardman studios of Birmingham, England. The church is designed principally in the Geometric Decorated style of Gothic, which first evolved around the 13th century. It is not a copy of a particular medieval Cathedral but is a unique design, drawing on certain elements of its medieval forbears. The altar in the Chapel of the Irish Saints is a later addition designed and executed in Italy of marble. St Mary's Cathedral's organ was installed by Orgues LeTourneau, a Canadian organ builder.
