Le plan en croix latine de cet édifice en pierre est composé d'une nef rectangulaire à trois vaisseaux, d'un transept et d'un choeur en saillie plus étroit terminé par une abside en hémicycle. Deux absidioles semi-circulaires sont rattachées aux bras du transept. La façade éclectique présente une tour centrale demi-hors-œuvre coiffée d'un clocher et est flanquée de tourelles surmontées de clochetons. Une sacristie en pierre, composée de deux corps de bâtiment de plan rectangulaire à un étage, est greffée à l'abside. La cathédrale de Joliette s'élève au cœur d'un ensemble religieux catholique comprenant aussi l'évêché (relié à la sacristie par un chemin couvert), l'ancien séminaire diocésain et l'ancien noviciat des Clercs de Saint-Viateur. Elle se situe en retrait de la voie publique, à proximité de la rivière L'Assomption, au centre de la ville de Joliette.
