The cornerstone of St. Paul's was laid on July 25, 1910 by Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier and a year later it was formally consecrated by Archbishop Adelard Langevin of St. Boniface, Manitoba. Originally built as parish church, it became a pro-cathedral in 1921, and elevated to a full cathedral in 1934 when the Diocese of Saskatoon was established.[1] The Casavant organ was installed in 1912.

The Institute for stained glass in Canada has documented the stained glass at St Paul's Cathedral.[2] The stained glass was added in 1945 to commemorate those who lost their lives in World War II and in 1976 for those that lost their lives to a fire.

Due to its small size and lack of space to expand, the building had been unable to effectively function as a cathedral since the mid-1990s. On December 18, 2011 the new Holy Family Cathedral was opened, and St. Paul's became a co-cathedral and continued to function as a local parish.[3]
