St. Ninian's Cathedral - Saint Francis Xavier University (SFX)
Details
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.
Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.
Shipping + Returns
We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
