St Patrick's Cathedral is a heritage-listed Roman Catholic cathedral on James Street, South Toowoomba, Toowoomba, Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Toowoomba architect James Marks and was built from 1883 to 1935. The site of the cathedral was originally a church and school known as St Patrick's Church School. In 1899, the school was moved to make way for the building of the cathedral and in 1959 renamed as St Saviour's School.[1] St Patrick's Cathedral was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.[2]
The cathedral serves as the seat for the Bishop of Toowoomba, currently Kenneth Howell.
