St. Theresa Cathedral, Juba

This Roman Catholic cathedral is the principal church of the Archdiocese of Juba and one of the most prominent religious buildings in the South Sudanese capital. Its large hall accommodates the substantial Catholic community that grew through missionary activity over the past century. The cathedral serves as a centre of worship, celebration and national religious gatherings, and drew wide attention during a papal visit to the young nation. Set in central Juba, it stands as a symbol of the country's strong Christian heritage.
