Historic Sites of Manitoba: Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Cathedral (28 First Street West, The Pas)

This brick church on First Street West in The Pas was constructed in 1922, replacing a log church building constructed in 1897. A bell beside the church was first mounted in the first cathedral and was moved to the present cathedral in 1922. It was removed from the belfry in 1982 and placed in front of the cathedral three years later.
