The Original St. Joseph's church, built in 1840 AD, was reconstructed and renamed as St. Philomena's Cathedral in 1933 AD. It is an imposing structure of architectural grandeur.

The cathedral with it's two tapering spires rising to a height of 165 ft, dazzling medieval style stained-glass interior is a truly majestic sight.

The huge church has a crypt in which there is a statue of St. Philomena, a 3rd century saint from Greece, in sleeping posture and a piece of her bone is preserved here at the centre of a beautiful shield. This statue of St. Philomena is housed in the underground chamber.

The many splendours of medieval architecture are embodied in this unique structure that attracts the attention of one and all. The catholic mission, headed by a Bishop, maintains the church.
