The cornerstone for this cathedral was laid on July 30th, 1911 and construction was completed in 1913. Built as a church and dedicated as a Cathedral in 1987, the historic building replaced the first Anglican Church in Kelowna. It was designed by architect Wesley A. Peters and constructed by Harry W. Raymer, the same duo that had designed and built the impressive Knox Presbyterian Church at 721 Bernard Avenue two year earlier, in 1909. Though not original, the building now has many commemorative stained glass windows, replacing the original leaded glass over the years.
The cathedral contains a total of approximately 30 stained glass windows, depicting religious scenes and personalities. Several of the windows are memorial windows, in memoriam of notable citizens of Kelowna's pioneering days.
