I started in front of the UN with the rows of country flags flapping behind me, then got my stamp at the visitor info centre as I could find no one in the cathedral near the train station for a stamp.
There is no special benefit to a cathedral stamp. Find a place to get stamped, where ever it is you are starting: church, cathedral, tourism office, hotel, restaurant, even a hardware store -- it matters not!That's 'just' a church
Did you book ahead ... Was it expensive?I started at the Geneva airport.
I walked the 9km to the old city where I stayed the first night at Home Saint-Pierre. I got my first stamp there having brought a Pilgrim Passport with me. About Home Saint-Pierre...it was okay. Girls in a bunk room, bathroom in the basement. Kitchen if you want to cook but the kitchen was in the same room where you sleep (definitely not my preference).
Home Saint-Pierre is directly across from the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre. Very convenient and got another stamp in my passport. Followed the signage out of town.
For your March departure date, I would contact them ahead, not so much for fear of a full house but rather to make sure they are open. And it will certainly be less expensive than almost any other lodging in Geneva (I'm assuming they have a youth Hostel somewhere).Did you book ahead ... Was it expensive?

Isn't there a Donativo in Geneva? I do think €33 a lot ...Yes, I booked Home Saint-Pierre in advance. In the Summer of 2015 the cost was 33€; very convenient location.
Remember Switzerland is priced in CHF rather than EUR.I do think €33 a lot ...
I only can afford Gite Communal really. I've a small budget and a leaky tent.Remember Switzerland is priced in CHF rather than EUR.
And the gites in France (demi-pension) will easily run you EUR33.
That's 'just' a church (Notre-Dame), not a cathedral, of which there is only one per diocese. The cathedral of Geneva, as @Kitsambler, said, is St. Pierre and is on the other side of the river in the old city.
