Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem

Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem is a diocese of the Catholic Church whose territory includes Cyprus, Jordan, Israel and Palestine. It is supported by six Vicariates that operate in different fields of action to support the Christian communities in all of these countries.

Pro-Cathedral of the Patriarchate

The Pro-Cathedral, which can accommodate five hundred believers, was built under Patriarch Valerga. As an eminent believer, Mgr Valerga understood the importance of providing a splendid and inspiring church to celebrate the Eucharistic Mass and other Liturgical rites. The Pro-Cathedral was constructed and consecrated on the 25th anniversary of his Patriarchal consecration, on February 11th, 1872.
