The Cathedral of St. Teresa of Avila (French: Cathédrale Sainte-Thérèse-d'Avila) is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Amos, which encompasses western and northern Quebec, Canada. It is located in the center of Amos, on the east bank of the Harricana River on the highest hill of the town, and visible for a great distance. It is the only Catholic cathedral in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. The cathedral was built in a "Roman-Byzantine" style, with a circular Byzantine floor plan as opposed to the more common cruciform Romanesque plan, in 1922–23. It is made of steel and reinforced concrete, unusual materials in the construction of places of worship at the time.
