History
Newly arrived Bishop Cristoforo D’Amico claims a parcel of land outside the town of San Angeles for the Catholic Church on September 12, 1884. He launched preparations to construct an Old World cathedral to replace the sadly dilapidated chapel of the old Mission San Angeles.

After construction of St. Mary’s Cathedral was completed, Bishop D’Amico, still dissatisfied, orders construction of other assorted religious structures surrounding the cathedral.

Bishop Cristoforo D’Amico died on December 5, 1923, bringing to an end the ceaseless construction at the Cathedral of St. Mary.
