Church of the Holy Spirit, Roman Catholic church in Batumi, Georgia.
The Church of the Holy Spirit is a Roman Catholic church building in Batumi featuring modern architectural design with clean lines and geometric forms. The interior follows traditional Catholic requirements for liturgical spaces while the exterior presents a contemporary appearance.
The building was constructed in the late 1990s after the end of Soviet occupation, replacing an earlier church that had been confiscated. Georgian architects Oleg Pataridze and Giorgi Baghoshvili designed this new structure to restore Catholic worship in the region.
The church serves Batumi's small Catholic community as a gathering place for worship and religious celebrations. Visitors notice how this building represents the faith of a minority within a predominantly Orthodox region.
The church is situated on Gogebashvili Street and welcomes visitors throughout the day. Regular worship services follow a set schedule, so checking ahead helps visitors choose the best time for their visit.
The church stands on a site where a previous place of worship once existed before being destroyed during Soviet rule. The reconstruction at this location symbolizes the return of religious freedom after decades of suppression.
