About Saint Anthony's Cathedral

This Roman Catholic church in Beaumont began as a small wooden building from 1881 and was later moved to its current site in 1894. Its congregation grew during the early 1900s oil boom, and the present church was started in 1903 in an Italian Renaissance revival design, named for Saint Anthony of Padua. The building has a copper dome and an ornate marble altar. Additional convent and rectory buildings were added during the long pastorate of Monsignor E. A. Kelly. After the Beaumont Diocese was created in 1966, the church became a cathedral. The site is recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark.
