🛚 St. Boniface Cathedral

The Basilica of Saint Boniface is a Catholic cathedral in the St. Boniface ward of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is an important building in Winnipeg, and is the principal church in the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface, serving the eastern part of Manitoba province as well as the local Franco-Manitoban community. The church sits in the centre of the city at 190 avenue de la Cathédrale. Before the fire on July 22, 1968, which destroyed the previous building on site, the church was a minor basilica. Pope Pius XII raised the shrine to the status of minor basilica via his decree Centum Amplius Abhinc on 10 June 1949. The decree was signed and notarized by Cardinal Carlo Grano.
