The first Mass was said in the Cathedral of St Peter & St Paul in 1842 after 14 years of slow construction progress and financial difficulties. Even then, the building was not yet finished and wasn't until 1894. The Healing Hands sculpture, by Shane Gilmore, outside the Cathedral was erected in 2008. On it is carved “I will not forget you, I have carved your name on the palm of my hand” Isaiah 49:15.

The imposing cathedral, which celebrated its first mass in 1842, tells a story of slow construction progress and challenges that continued into the late 19th century. The grey stone walls and the high tower exude a calm that invites you to pause for a moment.

In front of the entrance stands the sculpture "Healing Hands" by Shane Gilmore. The words from the book of Isaiah on the palm enhance the atmosphere of this place and create a connection between past and present.
