The Cathedral of Saint Catharine of Siena is located on the corner of North 18th and West Turner Streets in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The parish was originally founded in 1919 when Allentown was part of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. A carriage house was converted to a chapel and used until 1927 when a proper church building was constructed. In 1952, ground was broken for a new church, the present one. The church was completed and consecrated on April 25, 1954. In January 1961, Pope John XXIII created the Diocese of Allentown, and Saint Catharine's was chosen as the new diocese's cathedral. A major renovation was completed on the church in 1972, with additional renovations undertaken in the 1980s. The cathedral is still a vibrant parish with multiple masses on weekdays and Sundays.
