St Marys Cathedral, Perth, Western Australia
St Marys Cathedral, Perth, officially the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Perth, and seat of its Archbishop, currently Timothy Costelloe. The cathedral is at the centre of Victoria Square, on the northern end of Victoria Avenue, Perth, Western Australia. The cathedral as it now stands was constructed in three main phases, with the first phase completed in 1865. Plans were drawn up for the replacement of the cathedral in the 1920s with a larger Perpendicular Gothic edifice. However, construction was interrupted by the onset of the Great Depression, leaving a new transept and sanctuary, with the aisle of the original cathedral as its nave. After 70 years incomplete, and portions of the cathedral requiring extensive repair work, funds were eventually raised in the late 1990s and early 2000s for the completion of the expansion. A new curved design for the expansion was created, and featured a second spire and underground parish centre. The cathedral closed for construction in 2006, and reopened in December 2009

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent St Marys Cathedral, a true architectural gem nestled in the heart of Perth, Western Australia. Officially known as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, it serves as the spiritual home for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Perth and its esteemed Archbishop Timothy Costelloe. The cathedral's rich history unfolds through its construction phases. The initial phase was completed in 1865, followed by plans for a grander Perpendicular Gothic structure in the 1920s. Unfortunately, due to the Great Depression, only a transept and sanctuary were added alongside an aisle from the original cathedral. After remaining incomplete for over seven decades and requiring extensive repairs, dedicated efforts led to fundraising success in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This paved the way for an ambitious expansion project featuring a stunning curved design with a second spire and an underground parish center. Artie Photography beautifully captures this iconic landmark against a backdrop of Victoria Square on Victoria Avenue. The image encapsulates both historical charm and modern elegance while showcasing intricate details that make St Marys Cathedral truly awe-inspiring. Whether you have personal ties to this sacred place or simply appreciate remarkable architecture, Artie Ng's photograph allows you to admire St Marys Cathedral's resplendent beauty from afar.
