Christchurch Builds New $80M Cathedral | Christchurch News

Christchurch’s Catholic Diocese is pouring $80 million into a stunning new Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, set to reopen on Barbadoes Street after the earthquakes. The cathedral will seat 800, plus a perpetual adoration chapel, community center for 300, and lush landscaping. Designed by local firm Warren and Mahoney, the project blends sustainability, beauty, and faith. With $8 million still needed, Bishop Michael Gielen and priests are pledging weekly contributions for five years to kickstart construction — no official start date yet, but the momentum is undeniable.
