St. Therese Cathedral- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

St. Theresa's Cathedral, located on Unity Avenue in Juba's Kator district, serves as the cathedral for the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Juba. The construction of the church began in 1952, and it became the cathedral in 1974 when the Archdiocese of Juba was established. Throughout the southern Sudan civil war, the cathedral offered refuge to about 5,000 people, who sought safety within its walls as violent clashes between rival factions forced it to remain closed for days. Today, it remains a key religious site in South Sudan's capital.
