The original parish church was a Gothic building at the intersection of Ninth and Santa Clara streets , which was completed in 1888 . This church was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake , but rebuilt less than a year later . The second church was replaced by the current church at the intersection of Eighth and Santa Clara streets in 1967 . From 1981 until 1990 , St. Patrick ’s served as the cathedral of the Diocese of San José . The cathedra was then transferred to the newly renovated St. Joseph ’s , at which time the parish was redesignated St. Patrick Proto-Cathedral Parish
