“St. Christopher's Cathedral, located in Forrest, was founded in 1938, with the church and school laying the foundation stone in 1927. Although the convent building opened its doors in 1928, only the initial stage of the cathedral was completed. Despite intentions to build a complete cathedral, the community faced fundraising challenges that prevented them from realizing their plans. However, after years of effort, construction was finally completed, and the cathedral was dedicated in front of approximately 1,000 attendees. Over time, enhancements included the addition of a bell and stained glass windows, both completed by 1973. The cathedral invites individuals to explore or rediscover the Catholic faith and engage with their church community. Guided by the vision centred around Jesus Christ, the work of the Archdiocese finds its beginning and culmination in His person. Notably, the St. Christopher's Cathedral gallery expanded, now housing 1,100 wood and metal pipes in its organ alongside the rose window.”
