The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist [1] (French: Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Nicolet) [2] also called Nicolet Cathedral [3] is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church and seat of the bishop of the Diocese of Nicolet. [4] It is located in the city of the same name in the province of Quebec, in eastern Canada.
The parish of Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-Nicolet was officially opened in 1831; Nicolet's episcopal seat was established later in 1885. A fourth church was constructed in 1873, suffering the collapse of its steeple shortly thereafter. Attempts to reconstruct it failed due to the weakness of the building's structure.
