St. Theresa Cathedral, Juba, Catholic cathedral in Juba, South Sudan
St. Theresa Cathedral stands on Unity Avenue in the Kator district, featuring architectural elements that reflect local South Sudanese religious traditions.
The cathedral's construction began in 1952 and received its official cathedral status in 1974 through a papal bull issued by Pope Paul VI.
During periods of civil conflict, the cathedral provided shelter to 5,000 people, demonstrating its role beyond religious services for the community.
The cathedral maintains regular Catholic services and functions as the primary religious center for the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Juba under Cardinal Stephen Ameyu.
Pope Francis conducted a visit to St. Theresa Cathedral on February 4, 2023, marking a significant moment in South Sudan's religious history.
