Cathedral
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, commonly called St Mary's Cathedral, is the seat of the Archbishop and is located in East Perth.
During restoration work in the Cathedral between 2003 and 2006, the brick and plaster crypt containing the coffins of Bishops Matthew Gibney and Martin Griver was discovered by archaeologists under the floorboards of an aisle in the Cathedral.
In 2011, the remains of Perth's first bishop, John Brady were exhumed from his grave in France and he was laid to rest in the crypt.

Famous quotes containing the word cathedral:
“Now, honestly: if a large group of ... demonstrators blocked the entrances to St. Patrick’s Cathedral every Sunday for years, making it impossible for worshipers to get inside the church without someone escorting them through screaming crowds, wouldn’t some judge rule that those protesters could keep protesting, but behind police lines and out of the doorways?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“That great Cathedral space which was childhood.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
