Cathedral
St Albans Cathedral in Griffith is the see of the diocese. Initial ground work for the cathedral building begun as early as 1937, but substantive construction was not until 1954 and the foundation stone being laid in 1954. However, the building did not actually become the cathedral until 1984 as part of the diocese's centenary celebrations.
The cathedral was invested in honour of the World War Two fallen and in 1956 the Archbishop of Brisbane dedicated the cathedral's honour roll.

At numerous cathedral cities
Unknown to the clergy.”
