The people of the ProCathedral parish had raised some £250,000 (1970) for restoration of the ProCathedral. However, with reports from the civil engineers in 1964 indicating that the ProCathedral site in Park Place was unsuitable, an anonymous group of local people added to this a donation of £450,000 (1970), on the condition that a new site was found.[Letter from [name withheld at Cathedral's request] to Bishop Rudderham, 18 February 1970, Clifton Diocesan Archives/CB miscellaneous correspondence] From 1962 to 1965 the Second Council of the Vatican met in Rome, Italy, discussing the renewal of the Church in its relationship to the world. The council's decree on liturgical worship focused on the role of the people, with the bishop and their priests in the celebration of the Eucharist.

The hexagonal flèche rises to support a three-pronged spire, enclosing a cross. The Spire contains two bronze bells, one of the few things transferred from the ProCathedral, by John Taylor & Co (1901, tuned to F and C with diameters of 1’10” and 2’5½”, and weights 1-3-26 and 4-2-26).

The buildings have been since adapted for the Warsaw Archdiocesan Seminary and the former Carmelite Church serves as the seminary church. During World War II the church was saved from deliberate destruction by the retreating German forces and was only slightly damaged. It served as a procathedral until the reconstruction of St. John's Cathedral.

In October 2007, Bishop J. Jon Bruno announced that St. John's had been named the procathedral of the Diocese of Los Angeles, with the cathedral functions to be shared with the Cathedral Center of St. Paul in Echo Park. Larger diocesan liturgical functions are carried out at St. John's while all other diocesan offices and functions are located at St. Paul's. The dedication was held in February 2008. The Very Rev.

In 1991 Pope John Paul II reactivated the Lviv diocese. Meanwhile, the miraculous icon of the Madonna was moved to Kraków after World War II, and then in 1974 to the procathedral in Lubaczów. In 1983 it was once again crowned in Jasna Góra and remains presently in Lubaczów. Lviv Cathedral owns a copy which was crowned by Pope John Paul II during his Apostolic Visit to Ukraine on June 26, 2001.

The cost of moving the ProCathedral organ was prohibitive, so a new organ designed by Josef von Glatter-Götz Jr of Rieger Orgelbau of Austria (with John Rowntree) was commissioned at a cost of £18,000 (1973). The triangular and hexagonal structure of the ash-wood casing was designed by Glatter-Götz & Ronald Weeks. It was installed by Martin Pflüger. The organ has 1,830 pipes, with 26 speaking stops and no extensions or no duplexing.

The diocese sold the site to a German charity – Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship – and the proceeds were used for the replacement for the ProCathedral Primary School, SS. Peter & Paul, constructed in Aberdeen Road, Redland, and opened in 1974. The cathedral and site became the home of a Steiner school until 2002, when it was sold for redevelopment. During 2007 the space was run as a theatre and art venue by The Invisible Circus and Artspace Lifespace. Following this, the building fell into extensive disrepair.

It was formally named the Procathedral of Saint Mary at that time. Although the building was open for worship in 1914, the interior decoration, windows, and plaster work were not completed until 1925. It was established as a minor basilica by Pope Pius XI in 1926, making it the first basilica in the United States. In 1941 the basilica was formally consecrated by Archbishop Dennis Dougherty of Philadelphia as part of the Ninth National Eucharistic Congress (which was taking place in Minneapolis and St. Paul at the time).

Immigration from Ireland rose even more in the 1840s due to the Great Famine. By 1847 the Catholic Church and its congregations were well entrenched in Albany and the other cities of the region that Pope Pius IX granted requests to establish the Diocese of Albany. John McCloskey, later Archbishop of New York, was installed as the first bishop of Albany in 1847, with St. Mary's as his procathedral. Like many of the other churches in the new diocese, St. Mary's had been run by a board of trustees due to its distance from the diocesan seat in New York.

John McCloskey, the first bishop of Albany and later the first American-born cardinal, made it his procathedral briefly. John Neumann, later a saint, celebrated a Mass there as a newly ordained priest. Clarence A. Walworth, a convert from Episcopalianism who was the first advocate for the sainthood of Kateri Tekakwitha, among other contributions to the Church, was pastor of St. Mary's for most of the late 19th century, and responsible for much of the look of the current building, inside and out. The church's interior is done in a combination of the Mannerist and French Gothic styles, in contrast to its exterior.

The first part of the scheme was completed by 1876, but the exterior re-styling, a tall tower with octagonal lantern and short spire (totalling 61m or 200 ft), were not completed. A stained glass window from the ProCathedral showing the Crucifixion, probably portraying the Virgin Mary (L), Mary Magdalene (C) & another figure (R), with the inscription 'Orate pro bono statu Helenae Josephine Harrison olim' (Pray for the good state (soul) of Helen Josephine formerly Harrison) The nave and choir remained unaltered, though round-topped windows were added in the 1870s and in 1903 to increase light in the nave, with 'rich Renaissance canopies' by Hardmans of Birmingham.

While the Polish- annexed greater part of the Breslau archdiocese came under the jurisdiction of Apostolic Administrators first appointed by August Hlond (as of 1 September 1945), the Czechoslovak part of Breslau archdiocese became a separate Apostolic Administration of Český Těšín in 1947. St. James was the cathedral for the Breslau archdiocesan territory in the Soviet Zone, which became the East German Democratic Republic in 1949. With the Holy See's dissolution of Breslau's Eastern German Ecclesiastical Province and the reorganisation of the archdiocese and its suffragans in 1972 (cf. Apostolic constitution Vratislaviensis – Berolinensis et aliarum), the Polish bulk of Breslau's archdiocesan area became the Archdiocese of Wrocław, whereas the East German part of Breslau archdiocese was disentangled from the archdiocese and made the exempt Apostolic Administration of Görlitz with St. James converted to procathedral (as of 1972).

In addition, there were two or three statues of the Virgin Mary, a statue of the Sacred Heart, and a multiplicity of other statues of other saints including St John the Baptist, St Therese of Lisieux, St Anthony of Padua and St Rock. By the rear door, there was a statue of the Apostle St Peter, his extended foot rubbed smooth by the repeated touching of the faithful as they entered and left the building. Postcard, ProCathedral exterior, undated (probably early 20th cent.), Roy Vaughan Collection, BRO43207/29/19/6, Bristol Archives In the 1870s Bishop William Clifford started to replace the unfinished portico, with a schoolroom. The whole entrance and exterior, including the school, atrium and porch, and pinnacled façade, were remodelled, by Charles Hansom (who still lived locally) in a North Italian Romanesque style in Pennant rubble stone.
