St. Peter Claver Cathedral, Bangassou

St. Peter Claver Cathedral, Bangassou, Catholic cathedral in Bangassou, Central African Republic.

St. Peter Claver Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Bangassou, in the Mbomou prefecture of the Central African Republic, built for the Latin rite. It is the seat of the Diocese of Bangassou, erected in 1964 by Pope Paul VI with the bull "Quod sacri Evangelii", and is served under Bishop Juan-José Aguirre Muñoz.

The cathedral was established in 1964 through Pope Paul VI's papal decree, becoming the central place of Catholic worship for the Diocese of Bangassou. Since then it has served as the spiritual hub for the Catholic community in the region.

The dedication honours Peter Claver, a Spanish Jesuit priest canonized in 1888 for his work for the rights of enslaved Africans in the Spanish colonies of the Americas. The cathedral's French name, Cathédrale Saint Pierre Claver, is the form used locally in Bangassou.

The cathedral stands in Bangassou, in the Mbomou prefecture of the southern Central African Republic, near the Mbomou River. It serves as the seat of the Diocese of Bangassou, so it is the town's main Catholic church. Visitors should check locally for Mass times and access, since the building is an active place of worship.

The cathedral is named for Peter Claver, a Spanish Jesuit canonized in 1888 for defending the rights of enslaved people in Spain's American colonies. The diocese it heads was created in 1964 by Pope Paul VI with the bull "Quod sacri Evangelii", and Bishop Juan-José Aguirre Muñoz holds pastoral responsibility for it.
