St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral

St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral, commonly known as Tagbilaran Cathedral, is the Roman Catholic cathedral located along Carlos P. Garcia Avenue in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. It serves as the seat of the Diocese of Tagbilaran. Originally established as a Jesuit parish in 1595 and rebuilt in the 18th to 19th centuries, the present structure was restored after the 2013 Bohol earthquake. It is notable for its Baroque-influenced facade, stained glass, and central role in Boholano Catholic life.

Visitors can expect a historic stone cathedral facing Plaza Rizal in central Tagbilaran. The exterior features a white facade with twin bell towers, a pediment with the image of St. Joseph, and a spacious front plaza. Inside, visitors find a high-ceilinged nave, altar dedicated to St. Joseph the Worker, stained-glass windows, religious statues and paintings, and side chapels. The surroundings include the cathedral grounds, nearby diocesan buildings, and the city plaza. It is an active place of worship with regular Masses.
