Jolo Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Jolo, Philippines

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel stands as a religious structure with adobe and cement construction in the heart of Sulu province.

The cathedral's construction commenced in 1864, establishing a permanent Catholic presence in the predominantly Muslim region of Mindanao.

The Oblates of Mary Immaculate have maintained pastoral care of the cathedral since 1939, serving the Catholic community in the Sulu archipelago.

Security measures include regular patrols and coordinated efforts with local authorities to ensure the protection of worshippers during religious services.

The cathedral underwent complete reconstruction after the January 2019 bombing, demonstrating the determination of the local Catholic congregation.
