Architecture
The architectural style of the church building is Gothic, marked, among other things, by pointed arches, flying buttresses, vaulted ceilings, stained-glass windows, stone-carved decorations, and a bell tower. Cornerstones, plaques, and stained-glass windows from the earlier locations of the cathedral are also incorporated around the cathedral close.
The architectural style of the oratory is modern. There is a columbarium in the oratory of the cathedral.
The Great Hall holds a large parish hall, stage and two industrial kitchens. It was built in 1955, and its architectural style is 1950s modern.
