Queen of Peace Cathedral, Long Xuyên

The cathedral features a 55-meter tower and a large statue of the Virgin Mary adorning its white stone facade and central entrance.

The cathedral became the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Long Xuyên in 1960, following Pope John XXIII's establishment through the bull Christi Mandata.

The cathedral combines Vietnamese architectural elements with Western religious design principles, reflecting the integration of Catholic traditions in Southeast Asian context.

The cathedral welcomes visitors and hosts regular services for over 230,000 Catholics across 164 parishes within the diocese's 10,243 square kilometer territory.

The structure serves the largest Catholic congregation in the Mekong Delta region, with Bishop Joseph Trần Văn Toản leading religious ceremonies since 2019.
