Officially the structure is a church and not a cathedral, because Bacău is not the seat of any bishop (the cathedral of the Bishop of Roman and Bacău, from which this parochial church belongs, being in Roman). However, due to its size and importance, it is called by the locals "cathedral" – in the sense used in the primary Christianity, that of the main place of the city. Officially if the bishop will serve in this church, it will be cathedral or co-cathedral.
