St Mary's Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ossory. It is situated on James's Street, Kilkenny, Ireland. Saint Mary's was designed by William Deane Butler (c.1794-1857). He was chosen by Bishop William Kinsella (1793-1845) who instigated the building of St. Mary's in February 1842.
It became a Protestant church like St. Canice's Cathedral and St. John's Priory, even though the Protestant population in Kilkenny was declining from under 20% in 1731 to 5% by 1800. [9] This resulted in the building of Catholic churches of the same names (St. Canice's Church, St. John's Church and St. Mary's Cathedral) in later years.
Since St Canice's Cathedral was now a Protestant place of worship, Roman Catholics were obliged to worship elsewhere. St Mary's Cathedral in Kilkenny was later built for the Roman Catholic diocese. The cathedral contains some 16th-century monuments. The architectural style of the cathedral is Early Gothic and is built of limestone.
