St. Augustine Cathedral

There's a long association between the name of St. Augustine and the Tucson area, dating back to the Spanish military and missionary presence in the 1700s. There were two villages with the name of San Agustn del Tucson.

With the exception of the facade and towers, the Cathedral was demolished and rebuilt in the late 1960s under the leadership of Bishop Francis J. Green.

Started in 1896, the building has a magnificent sandstone facade modeled after the Cathedral of Queretaro, Mexico. Above the entry is the bronze statue of St. Augustine and the saguaro, yucca and horned toad of Arizona's desert.

For over 100 years Saint Augustine Cathedral Parish has been providing a Catholic-centered education to the children of the parish and surrounding community.

Location: 130 South Scott Ave, Tucson Arizona 85701
