Cathedral of the Holy Spirit — Attraction in Palmerston North

There is something peaceful about this church. If you are here, you will pray unknowingly. Your mind will calm down in the silence here no matter how restless it is. It is a blessing to this community to have a church that is so beautiful to pray in midst of the city's hustle and bustle. Beautiful altar and architecture can be seen in this church. Historical records indicate the church was originally named Saint Patrick, but was renamed the Holy Spirit Cathedral in 1980 when the Diocese of Palmerston North was established. Cathedral, designed by de Jersey Clere, was renovated, extended and reordered in 1988. The building was designated a Category 1 historic place in 1990 by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. Despite being a Gothic Revival style cathedral, it was constructed in reinforced concrete with ornamental Gothic architectural elements like lancet windows, pointed arches, and pinnacles, and its layout is typical of the style. It is surrounded by seven structural columns on each side that support pointed arches. The two side aisles feature 10 stained glass windows of Jesus' parables that were designed by Franz Xavier Zettler. Visit this church and you will be able to be touched by the beautiful paintings, the architecture, and the spiritual serenity of this place. Come here from time to time and listen...
