The allegations relate to 14-year-old boys who may have been abused at the cathedral in the late 1990s.
Detectives from the Sano Taskforce, which investigates historical sexual assault and child abuse, is urging anybody with information to contact them.
Detectives would like to speak to anyone who was a victim of a sexual assault, or anybody with any information relating to any alleged sexual assaults, committed at the St Patrick’s Cathedral between 1996 and 2001.
“Victoria Police is committed to investigating and bringing to justice those people who prey on children no matter how many years have passed,” Sergeant Sharon Darcy said.
