Blessed Jurgis Matulaitis Church, Kaunas, Catholic church in Eiguliai district, Kaunas, Lithuania

The church stands at the intersection of P. Lukšio and S. Žukausko streets, near the western edge of Kalniečiai Park, featuring a varying height design.

Construction began in May 2001 under Archbishop Sigitas Tamkevičius, with architect Rymantas Zimkus and engineer Algis Kazlauskas leading the project until 2014.

The parish holds three major celebrations: Blessed Archbishop Jurgis Matulaitis Day on January 27, Divine Mercy Sunday, and Assumption of Mary on August 15.

The church implemented geothermal heating in 2015 and completed its exterior insulation and facade work in 2016, with outdoor lighting added in 2018.

The building combines a single-story nave section with a two-story chapel area, creating distinct spaces for different religious functions.
