In 1886, soon before his death, Bishop Paul Limburgi devoted an altarpiece and an organ to the cathedral. His ashes were later place in Light's Hope Cathedral.

After fire of Northshore in 1915 church gave shelter to those in need. These people later settled to the north of the cathedral, thus creating Paramara neighbourhood. In 1919 pastor Edmund laid the foundations to present day Pastor Garden. In spring 1940 during a storm Light's Hope Cathedral's tower failed. In the summer of the same year new, much smaller tower was built. Recent Great Depression had made too deep impact on Roman Catholic Church to restore the tower completely. In 1967 inhabitants of Northshore decided to restore Light's Hope Cathedral's tower donating. In 1968 the money was saved up and the new tower was built in 1970, after thirty years.

In present day Northshore Light's Hope Cathedral is one of the main symbols of Northshore.
