Administrative history
The Cathedral Church of the Redeemer congregation was established in Calgary in 1883 and the church building constructed in 1884. A new church was built in 1905 and a new chapel in 1936. The pro-cathedral officially became the cathedral of the Calgary Diocese of the Anglican Church in 1949.
