St. Helen's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Santa Elena de Uairén, Venezuela.
The cathedral features stone walls constructed from local materials, with architectural elements common to religious buildings in southeastern Venezuela.
The Capuchin order initiated the construction of St. Helen's Cathedral during the early 1950s, using stones gathered from the surrounding area.
The cathedral functions as the main religious institution within the Apostolic Vicariate of Caroní, established by Pope Pius XI in 1922.
Located near the Brazilian border, the cathedral provides religious services and ceremonies to both local residents and international visitors.
Each stone in the cathedral walls originated from the immediate region, reflecting the direct involvement of the local community in its construction.
