Parish Short History
The Cathedral of Saint Paul was informally known as Saint Paul’s Cathedral, it is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama in Birmingham, Alabama. Designed by Chicago architect Adolphus Druiding, the Victorian Gothic-style brick building was completed as a parish church in 1893. It was elevated to Cathedral status with the creation of the Diocese of Birmingham in 1969.
St. Paul’s was originally a parish church of the Archdiocese of Mobile, later the Archdiocese of Mobile-Birmingham, with St. Paul’s becoming a Co-Cathedral. On December 9, 1969 the Holy See erected the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama from territory that previously was part of the Archdiocese, and designated St. Paul’s as the Cathedral Church of the new Diocese. Bishop Joseph Vath was the first Bishop and served until his death in 1987 (his grave is located in the Cathedral courtyard). He was succeeded by Bishop Raymond Boland (1988-1993), for whom there is a marker next to Bishop Vath’s grave. Bishop Boland was succeeded in 1994 by Bishop David Foley, our current Bishop Emeritus. The Most Reverend Robert J. Baker, S.T.D., was installed as the fourth (and current) Bishop of Birmingham on October 2, 2007
