"Corpus Christi Cathedral (Corpus Christi, Texas)"

Originally, a small St. Patrick's Church served the Catholics of Corpus Christi.  A new and larger church was built on the same property. The new church was ready for use in November 1882. On March 23, 1912, St. Pius X established the Diocese of Corpus Christi  and St. Patrick's became the cathedral for the new diocese. A new and larger building was needed again and it was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style in 1940. Pope Pius XII made it known that he desired the cathedral's name be changed to Corpus Christi.

Corpus Christi Cathedral measures 176 feet by 90 feet. The south tower is 125 feet  to the top of the dome and 133 feet to the top of the cross. The north tower is the shorter of the two towers and it rises to 97 feet to the top of the dome and 105 feet to the top of the cross.
