Holy Spirit Cathedral

Holy Spirit Cathedral, Roman Catholic Cathedral in Adabraka district, Accra, Ghana

Holy Spirit Cathedral measures 80 metres long, 23 metres wide and 18 metres high, with a bell tower rising to 48 metres. It was designed by Joseph Jud and stands on land in West Ridge, Adabraka, bought from the British crown and the Methodist Church. Inside, the tabernacle holds a chalice given by Pope Benedict XVI for the jubilee.

Apostolic Delegate David Matthews first proposed a Catholic cathedral for Accra in 1947, and Adolph Noser, made first Bishop of Accra in 1950, took up the plan. Land in West Ridge, Adabraka, was bought from the British crown and the Methodist Church, Joseph Jud designed the building, and groundbreaking came in 1952. Services began in 1953 without a roof; the cathedral was completed and consecrated in 1957 and given its own parish in 1958.

The cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Accra and was dedicated to the Holy Spirit in a solemn celebration in 1974. Its tabernacle holds a chalice given by Pope Benedict XVI for the jubilee. The building became a parish in its own right in 1958.

The cathedral is located in a neighborhood that is accessible on foot from central Accra, making it easy to reach by walking. Visitors are advised to check service times before arriving to avoid visiting during active worship if they wish to explore the interior freely.

The cathedral's tabernacle holds a chalice given by Pope Benedict XVI for the celebration of the jubilee. The church was dedicated to the Holy Spirit in a solemn celebration in 1974, seventeen years after it was consecrated.
