There has been a Catholic presence in Sault Ste. Marie since the 1600s when the Jesuits first arrived. Precious Blood Cathedral has been the visible and active sign of Catholicism in this area since 1875 and has been the seat of the Bishop for many generations. Previous Catholic generations have led us to be a people of faith with a rich history. Our parents, grandparents and great grandparents have ‘grown’ the Church by their good works and contributions to education and healthcare. Their faith journey has brought us to today.
As Bishop, I have asked Precious Blood Cathedral, the mother church in Sault Ste. Marie, to be a welcoming presence for all Catholics and take a leadership role in the preservation of our past and the revitalization of our present.

Our vision is to create a ‘Gathering Place’ for all Catholics at the Cathedral.

At the end of the path will be a columbarium for the interment of ashes of our loved ones. Appropriately, along this path will be an artistic depiction of our Catholic history, remarkable for its good works and achievements by the laity, priests and religious congregations of men and women.

We invite you and your family to Join the Journey as we celebrate and preserve our Catholic heritage for today and the future.

The Gathering Place at Precious Blood Cathedral is
