St.Paul's Anglican church

St.Anglican Paul's Church, the diocese's cathedral, and the Anglican parish church of Victoria, Mahé, is a significant historical sites. The original church, which stood on the site of the current church, was dedicated to the apostle St. Paul. Vincent William Ryan, Mauritius' first bishop, blessed it on May 14, 1859. The structure has been enlarged twice throughout the years, once in 1910 with a new tower and again in 1978 with an offset altar.

The name of the diocese was changed from Mauritius to the Diocese of Mauritius and Seychelles in December 1920, when St. Paul's became a pro-cathedral, where the bishop had his second bishop's see ('cathedra'). The structure was entirely replaced in 2001 due to a persistent lack of space and difficult and costly upkeep. The cathedral, which was then sanctified on April 25, 2004, was built with generous government and private-sector donations and now has a capacity of 800 people.
