Queen of Peace Cathedral, Long Xuyên

Queen of Peace Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Long Xuyên with a striking white stone facade and a 55-meter central tower. A large statue of the Virgin Mary stands above the main entrance, making the structure recognizable from across the city.

The cathedral became the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Long Xuyên in 1960 following Pope John XXIII's establishment of the diocese through the bull Christi Mandata. This founding moment gave the local Catholic community an institutional center for their spiritual life.

The cathedral blends Western religious design with local building traditions visible in its structure and spaces. Visitors experience how Catholic practices have taken root in the community through the way the building functions and is used during services.

The cathedral welcomes visitors at various times throughout the day and is open to people of all backgrounds. Plan your visit around the regular services to experience the building at its most active and to observe the spiritual life of the community.

The cathedral serves the largest Catholic congregation in the Mekong Delta region, making it a spiritual anchor for the faith in this part of Southeast Asia. Its position as a diocesan mother church gives it particular importance to the broader religious community.
