Catholic Church in the Falkland Islands

Saint Mary's Catholic Church stands on Ross Road in Stanley, offering regular services to the Catholic congregation of the Falkland Islands.

The Catholic Prefecture-Mission established in 1952 oversees religious activities in the Falkland Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha territories.

The interior walls of Saint Mary's Catholic Church display local artist James Peck's illustrations depicting the history of Catholicism on the islands.

Catholic services take place both at Saint Mary's Church in Stanley and at RAF Mount Pleasant to accommodate worshippers across the islands.

The Catholic prefecture operates independently from Argentine and British dioceses, reporting directly to the Holy See with Father Tom Thomas IC leading the mission.
