St. Mary's Church, Tórshavn, Catholic church in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
St. Mary's Church stands with modern architectural elements near the plantation area of Tórshavn, featuring large windows and clean lines in its design.
The current building was consecrated in 1987, replacing an earlier Catholic church that was part of Saint Francis School in the city center.
The church displays glass artworks by Danish artist Svend Havsteen-Mikkelsen and a wooden carving of Virgin Mary by Faroese artist Ole Jacob Nielsen.
The church remains open daily from 8:00 to 20:00, with regular Sunday Mass at 11:00 and English services on the second Sunday monthly at 16:00.
The interior features stained glass windows depicting Jesus walking on water alongside a Faroese fishing boat in rough seas, connecting biblical stories to local maritime traditions.
