St Mary's Catholic Cathedral, Sale, Vic, Australia - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

Originally built in red brick with a Gothic styling in 1886 when the parish priest (Father James Hegarty) heard that Sale may become a Diocese. ["The Diocese of Sale was established by Pope Leo XIII on 26 April 1887" Wiki - (visit link) ] "He initiated work on this red brick church when it was rumoured that Sale would become the seat of a Gippsland-based diocese and he wanted to ensure that the town had a church worthy of being called a cathedral."

It has had several extensions and renovations in the decades since. In 1910 there were extensions with sacristies added. Only internal additions and modifications were made until 1993, when a large assembly area was added to the north side of the body of the church/Cathedral.
