St. Mary's Cathedral, Jalandhar

St. Mary's Cathedral stands with its Gothic spires and stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes in the Jalandhar Cantonment area.

The cathedral site originated in 1847 as St. Patrick's Church under the Diocese of Lahore, receiving cathedral status in 1971 with the creation of Jalandhar Diocese.

The cathedral functions as the central point for Catholic activities in Punjab, serving a growing congregation that expanded from 15,000 to 115,000 members.

The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules, accommodates large gatherings, and provides parking facilities for visitors in the Jalandhar Cantonment district.

The foundation stone of the current structure received a blessing from Pope John Paul II before its placement in April 1987.
