The Cathedral of St Patrick and St Joseph is a Catholic Church in Auckland CBD, situated on the corner of Federal Street and Wyndham St. It is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Auckland and the cathedral of the Bishop of Auckland.
In 1841 the land was acquired by Bishop J B Pompallier, the first Catholic Bishop of New Zealand. A wooden chapel was constructed in 1842.
After the Sisters of Mercy arrived in 1850 they were buried between 1854 - 1863 in the Wyndham street area, under the gardens of their convent which once stood alongside the cathedral.
In 1883 the original stone church built in 1848 was to be extended and the cemetery would have been disturbed by the new nave's construction. On November 21, 1883, a warrant was issued under the Cemeteries Act of 1882 to exhume all ten nuns. Only five nuns were shifted to St Mary's Convent cemetery in Ponsonby.
