Within the cathedral are a number of truly fine stained glass windows, each one dedicated to the memory of one or more parishioners past. The large, three paneled window is an original, which is in the 1888 section of the sanctuary. All the other windows are post 1924, installed after the sanctuary was moved to Nicola Street and additions made.
Though the advertised office hours are Wednesday - Friday, 10 am to 1 pm, the hours are somewhat more irregular than that, depending on the availability of volunteers to man the office.
ST. PAUL'S ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL
360 Nicola Street - 1888/1924
The first Anglican church in Kamloops was built in 1888 in the 100 block Main Street (Victoria Street West). In 1924, the building was moved to the Nicola Street site at 4th Avenue, and additions made to the original building. The cornerstone contains relics from the original church together with coins and documents. The stained glass window on the east wall is part of the original 1888 sanctuary.
Some thirty years later, the building underwent structural changes. The chancel was enlarged, the altar moved from east to west, and a vestry, chapel and parish hall incorporated. A steeple was erected atop the main entrance. The sanctuary ceiling is supported by magnificent beams and rafters. The pride of the building is its beautiful stained and leaded glass windows.
