Holy Rosary Cathedral (Regina)
- Holy Rosary Cathedral (Regina)
Archdiocese of Regina. Its construction began in 1912 and the cornerstone blessed by the Papal Ambassador on June 29, 1913.
The interior of the church has been extensively redecorated five times: in
* 1928,
* 1951 when 43 stained glass windows by André Rault were installed, [ [http://users.accesscomm.ca/holyrosary/webpage.html Holy Rosary Cathedral website, retrieved 18 September 2007] ]
* 1968 (a more fundamental renovation to conform with the directives of the Second Vatican Council, when the high altar at the east end of the choir was dismantled and a nave altar installed at the crossing, the choir being converted into a chapel),
* 1976 after a disastrous fire. During the months following the 1976 fire the Cathedral was unusable and Masses were held in the immediately neighbouring Westminster United Church and
* 1992 when the opaque screen separating the nave from the choir was removed and the main altar restored to a position in the choir closer to the site of the original high altar in the former sanctuary.
The light and airy interior of the cathedral is decorated sparingly in keeping with Canadian aesthetic sensibilities. The McGuigan Organ in the gallery was originally built in 1930, replacing a large reed organ, extensively repaired after the 1976 fire, and renovated in 1992–1993 and renamed "The McGuigan Organ" in honour of Sister Marion McGuigan, a much loved local humanitarian and educator. It was built by Casavant Freres of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec.
The synod office for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina has been relocated to the former Sacred Heart Academy, immediately to the west of the Cathedral. As the Cathedral has in recent years found itself required to be locked and barred to entry other than at regularly scheduled service times, the synod office, as perhaps an unfortunate sign of the times, warns off seekers of charity, suggesting that they consult the Salvation Army.
