St. Ninian's Cathedral - Saint Francis Xavier University (SFX)

St. Ninian's Cathedral is of the Episcopal seat for the Catholic Diocese of Antigonish serving the eastern Nova Scotia mainland and Cape Breton Island.

Dedicated in 1874, St. Ninian's is constructed of limestone and sandstone, in Roman Basilica style. It has two square towers that rise 125 feet, and features intricate carvings above the central door. A cluster of shamrocks between two prigs of thistle, and the Gaelic words "Tigh Dhe" House of God are reminiscent of Ninian's Scottish roots. Although it is not officially a part of St. Francis Xavier University, St. Ninian's has provided solace, inspiration, and celebration to the University community. St. Ninian's has long been the host of the University's Convocation Mass.
