Since 1981

Specialty:

✓ Sunday Worship ✓ Weddings ✓ Confirmation ✓ Youth ✓ Choir ✓ Hall Hire ✓ Bell Tower ✓ Baptism ✓ Contemporary and Said Eucharist ✓ Choral Evensong ✓ Choral Eucharist ✓ Weekday Worship

“St Paul's Cathedral provides worship on Sundays and weekdays. The church was designed by Goldfields architect Robert A. Their mission is to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The church was built with early Gothic-style red brick with stone dressings and laid out in a simple cruciform plan comprising a six-bay nave, transepts, and sanctuary. Their splendid ceiling rises to almost 20 metres with their ornamented semi-circular cusps. The church has outstanding stained-glass windows. They also provide beautiful wooden sculptures to adorn the Cathedral. St Paul's Cathedral protects the integrity of creation and sustains and renews the earth's life.

2025 Update: The organ was rebuilt in 1957 and further modified in the 1990s.”

SACRED HEART CATHEDRAL REVIEWS

Breathtakingly Beautiful and Serene!! Sacred Heart Cathedral is a must-visit if you’re in Bendigo. Whether you’re there for its historical and architectural significance or simply seeking a peaceful escape, this place will leave you deeply moved. An absolute gem that reflects the heart of Bendigo’s cultural heritage.

Fantastic piece of history and architecture, as your drive past this cathedral, it towers over the town with majestic presence. The statue of Mary MacKillop is a true piece of art and pays tribute to her glory.

This is simply an amazing and beautiful cathedral inside and out. The artictecture is something to look at, which includes all the stonework as well as the wooden craftsmanship inside. We attended the 8.30am mass which was very pleasant.

ST. KILIAN'S PARISH REVIEWS

Serene and pious atmosphere in the church. The parish priest always greets everyone with a smile. Went there initially to get my car blessed. The parish office staff are also very helpful if you need to buy some article. Has a mass on weekdays at 12:10 in the noon, which is convenient to attend if you're having an off at work.

The great monument of a classical German church architecture in the Middle of Victoria's goldfields, do amazing to see it and so great it's preservede to stay till now.

Very welcoming very historic church in Gold town Bendigo.... priests are good and listen like others.could have Monday Mass or communion for many tourists. For view and booklets See the Cathedral too most awesome in bush and rivals capitsls in Stations Cross... B Mary and Jesu Statute.... on a hill. Catholic got best spot for once not Anglican.

ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL REVIEWS

Breathtakingly beautiful! The musical arrangement of Coldplay was incredible. You lost yourself in the experience. The musicians are incredibly talented, they were engaging & delightful. A wonderful evening.

Beautiful church, though frankly I would've expect something bigger and more grandeur from gold-rich Bendigo.

A most skillful display of musical entertainment. The musicians were enthusiastic and enjoyable to watch and listen to.
