St Patrick's Cathedral at 107 Hope Street is the cathedral of the Diocese of Kokstad. In 1888 the Sisters of the Holy Cross arrived in Kokstad and started the Holy Cross School. A small chapel had been built in 1884 and with the growth of the town a new church was required. The Holy Cross Sisters did the fundraising for the new Church and the Foundation Stone was laid by father Adalbero Fleischer in 1924. Adalbero was one of the Trappists who then became part of the Mariannhill Missionaries. In 1952 Pope Pius XII created the Diocese of Kokstad and the church became a Cathedral with it's own Bishop. The Cathedral has many stained-glass windows, a side chapel and memorabilia including stations of the cross.
