Child Jesus Cathedral, Lusaka, Catholic cathedral in Long Acres, Lusaka, Zambia

The Child Jesus Cathedral is a modern church building in Long Acres featuring distinctive stained glass windows and spacious interior halls. The structure displays contemporary architectural design that accommodates large congregations for worship.

The cathedral's history began in 1989, when Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass on what was then an open field and blessed the first stone. The building was officially dedicated in 2006. The Archdiocese of Lusaka, which the cathedral serves, was created in 1959 by Pope John XXIII's bull Cum fides christiana.

The cathedral serves as the main gathering place for Lusaka's Catholic communities to worship and celebrate religious occasions together. Regular services and ceremonies held here form an important part of the spiritual life in the city.

The building is located on Alick Nkhata Road and is easily accessible during weekdays. Visitors should note that opening times vary by day of the week and Sundays or holidays may have different conditions.

Pope John Paul II visited the site in 1989, when it was still an open field, and blessed the foundation stone before construction began. The cathedral was only formally dedicated in 2006, so the blessing preceded the finished building by seventeen years.
