Vicar general
The new Cathedral was begun at a site on Clifton Park, in March 1970 and was consecrated on the Patronal feast of Saints Peter and Paul, 29 June 1973. The ProCathedral was closed. The ProCathedral parish priest, Rt Rev Mgr Thomas J Hughes (Protonotary apostolic and Vicar general), transferred to the new Cathedral parish, serving Clifton, Redland and Hotwells.
