The Co-Cathedral, built in 1919, is a nationally renowned landmark. Monsignor Charles Maillard, the resident priest, designed the interior of the cathedral and painted the extensive murals between 1921 and 1931. Monsignor Maillard embellished the church with scenes from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. He focused on illustrating the following four levels: the sins of the world; the fourteen Stations of the Cross; the life and death of St. Philomena; and all aspects of the life and death of St. Philomena. Visitors will be amazed at the well-preserved condition of the paintings. 

All stained glass found in the building came from France, and the Bishop's Chair dates back to the 17th century. Once used by Italian Royalty, the Bishop's Chair was brought to Canada by the Order of Jesus-Mary. Originally named the church of St. Philomena, it was changed to Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral in 1965 as at this time St. Philomena was denounced as a saint when they could not find her corpse in the catacombs. This building has been a "Co-Cathedral" since the Diocese of Gravelbourg amalgamated with the Diocese of Regina in 1998. Previously, it had the status of a Cathedral.
