    St Francis Cathedral, this spectacular building was designed by Monsignor John Hawes and took 25 years to build. It is in the heart of Geraldton. Grounds are exceptional and carefully manicured and kept clean and tidy daily. Great cafe and museum on the grounds. The Cathedral had two piped organs, fabulous lead glass windows, exceptional design inside, and two bell towers, which housed 7 bells.
    Monsignor John Hawes (1876-1956) was a priest and architect. He designed 54 buildings, 24 which were built and 5 he helped build.
