Cathedral of St Joseph, Sofia, Roman Catholic cathedral in Sofia, Bulgaria
The Cathedral of St Joseph is a church building in Neo-Romanesque style featuring large stained glass windows that depict biblical scenes throughout its interior. The space is filled with religious artwork and architectural details that give it an ornate appearance typical of Catholic cathedrals.
The current building was completed in 2002, replacing a smaller church that previously occupied the same site in Sofia. This reconstruction allowed the Catholic community to have a larger and more modern place of worship.
The cathedral serves as a gathering place for Sofia's Catholic community to worship and participate in religious ceremonies together. It functions as the main spiritual center where members of the faith come to pray and observe their traditions.
The cathedral is open for visitors on weekdays and weekends with services held at different times throughout the day. It is wise to check opening hours before visiting to ensure you are not visiting during a ceremony or private service.
The cathedral offers its congregation the ability to watch services online and make digital donations from home. This modern approach allows members to participate in worship even when they cannot physically attend.
