New England is the home of a number of beautiful cathedrals, the cathedrae of the various Roman Catholic dioceses located in this region.
One of these cathedrals is the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Providence, Rhode Island, seat of the Diocese of Providence. The parish itself dates back to 1832. It became the cathedral parish for the Diocese of Hartford in 1847 (Providence was chosen because of the number of Catholics living in Providence). SS. Peter and Paul became the cathedral parish for the Diocese of Providence when the diocese was created in 1872.
