St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney, New South Wales
Basilica, Catholic, Gothic, Gothic Revival, Hennessy, Hennessy and Co, minor basilica, New South Wales, NSW, pointed arched windows, rose window, spire, stained glass, Sydney, tower, tracery, William Wardell
<p>The present St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral was designed by English architect William Wardell, with minor changes made by local architects Hennessy, Hennessy and Co. Although the foundation stone was laid in 1868, the cathedral was not completed until 2000 when the spires originally planned by Wardell were finally built. The sandstone building is the largest church in Australia and is unusual in being orientated north-south rather than east-west. In 1930 the cathedral was granted the title of minor basilica by Pope Pius XI. It is in Gothic style with pointed arched windows, spires, towers, stained glass, tracery, and rose windows.</p>

<p>Cardinal Cerretti Chapel is part of St Patrick’s Seminary on Darley Street in the Sydney suburb of Manly. The chapel opened in 1935 and was designed by Hennessy, Hennessy and Co. It is in Gothic style and features pointed arched windows and flying buttresses at the rear of the building. The Seminary closed in 1995 due to a lack of students (seminarians) and it is now the International College of Management. Cardinal Cerretti Chapel is still available for weddings. The photograph shows the flying buttresses at the rear of the building.</p>
<p>The chapel is named after Cardinal Cerretti, the first Apostolic Delegate (diplomatic representative of the Vatican) in Australia.</p>
