Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Sokołów Podlaski, Roman Catholic co-cathedral in Sokołów Podlaski, Poland
The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Sokołów Podlaski is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral located in this eastern Polish town. Its architectural style draws inspiration from the Church of Purest Heart of Mary at Warsaw's Szembek Square, which was designed by Andrzej Boni.
The building's foundations were consecrated on September 5, 1948, during a canonical visitation by Ignatius Świrski. It received its elevation to co-cathedral status in 1992 when Pope John Paul II issued the papal bull Totus Tuus Poloniae Populus.
The building serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community to attend services and mark religious occasions together. It remains central to how residents observe their faith in daily life.
The building is open daily for prayer and worship, with regular masses held throughout the week for both residents and visitors. Multiple service times are offered to accommodate different schedules.
The 1992 elevation to co-cathedral status was a significant moment for the region, reinforcing the religious importance of the city within its diocese. This recognition from Rome reshaped the building's role in the broader Catholic structure.
