St. Pierre Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Saint-Pierre) is an early 20th-century church that served as the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Vicariate Apostolic of Iles Saint Pierre and Miquelon before it was dissolved in 2018. It is now part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of La Rochelle and Saintes.[1] The church is located close to the harbour front of the capital city on the rue Jacques Cartier.
The construction of the church began in the late 17th century and it opened in 1690. Due to renovations and reconstruction, the current structure dates back to 1907. The church is noted for containing stained glass windows that were donated by Charles de Gaulle.
