The building committee was chaired by Llewellyn Jones, the Bishop of Newfoundland and Bermuda; the vice-chairman was Canon Mark James, although he died in office and was succeeded by the Hon. William H. Gosling. The bishop was generally elsewhere engaged, so the majority of the work fell upon the vice-chairman.

The cathedral was constructed between 1886 and 1905, originally to serve, like its predecessor, as a chapel of ease for the Bishop of Newfoundland and Bermuda.
