Roof Tile Project Progress

The Roof Tile Restoration Team has divided the roof into different phases. Thanks to the support of many donors, our team will begin the last phase of restoration in 2021.
Our Roof
Starting in 2015, the Archdiocese began much-needed roof repairs to keep our Cathedral intact. Over the past few years, the Roof Restoration team has been working hard to replace the old roof tiles with brand new ones.
These tiles are imported from Bangor, Wales and are designed especially to weather our vastly hot and cool temperatures. They are a “Heather Blue” and a new Cwt-Y-Bugail “Grey” colour which provides an attractive shine to our Cathedral’s roof. This complements the diamond pattern resulting from the tile’s layout, connecting to the original roof’s design from the 1800s.
For just $50, donate a roof tile for yourself, or on behalf of a loved one! Donate today to help preserve our Cathedral and be a part of her history.
Donate a Roof Tile
For as little as $50 you can donate a roof tile on behalf of yourself, or a loved one, to help renew our Cathedral. By donating a tile, you and your loved ones will become part of our Cathedral's history and restore beauty to our Mother Cathedral’s rooftop.
A certificate bearing your special dedication will be issued to commemorate your gift.
For 2,000 years the Catholic Church has worked to spread the faith, live charity and care for our elders. Catholics continue this work in Sydney today.
