Christchurch Catholic Cathedral

Christchurch City, New Zealand

The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament is the planned successor of Christchurch's former Catholic cathedral (of the same name) which was damaged in the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes and later demolished in 2020. This makes the cathedral the future mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Christchurch (Dioecesis Christopolitana). Initially, the cathedral was to be located on the corner of Armagh and Colombo Streets, opposite Victoria Square. However, on 21 April 2024, Bishop Michael Gielen announced the cathedral would be returning to the Barbadoes Street site, formerly occupied by the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. It will be the first Catholic cathedral to be built in New Zealand in 120 years.
