“St Mary's Cathedral has served the Diocese well for over 100 years, being the spiritual home of five bishops and many thousands of the faithful. The church was built between 1876 and 1878 on the old St. Mary's chapel site. The new St. Mary's Church was dedicated in August 1878 and became the seat of the Diocese of Middlesbrough early the following year. The church serves as both a parish and the mother church for the people of the Diocese. The cathedral is designed for worship and meets the spiritual and social needs of the community. St. Mary's Cathedral also hosts many youth activities throughout the Diocese and provides various sacrament services.”
