Cathedral of Saint Eugene is a cathedral of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. It is the mother church and seat of the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Santa Rosa in California.[1] It is located in the City of Santa Rosa.

History

During the first half of the 20th century, Catholics living in the North Coast of California were either under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of San Francisco or the Diocese of Sacramento. In 1950, Archbishop John J. Mitty of San Francisco erected St. Eugene's Parish. The church was dedicated on November 25, 1951. Two years later, the parish opened a school.[2]

Pope John XXIII on January 13, 196, established the Diocese of Santa Rosa.[3] St. Eugene's Church was now designated as the Cathedral of St. Eugene.[2]
