Dedication of the Second Cathedral
- When
- January 1891
- Where
- San Francisco
Archbishop Riordan dedicated the second Saint Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco in January 1891, replacing the older structure.
The dedication occurred in January 1891, following planning prompted by rapid population growth in the early 1880s. This new cathedral replaced the first Saint Mary's Cathedral, which had served the community from 1854 to 1891. The legacy row records January 12, 1891, but the retrieved passages confirm only January 1891, so the day is unverified.
