St. Mary’s Cathedral, known as St. Marien Kathedrale in German, is a Roman Catholic church in Windhoek, Namibia. The church features a porch topped by three semi-circular arches and a steeple. It is flanked by two quadrangular twin towers that rise to the height of four floors and are crowned by arrows that are painted white. The church was built between 1906 and 1908 using local materials but it manifests elements of Romanesque revival style.
An engaged parish community promoting and strengthening our faith through worship, prayer, spiritual reflections and service.
A united parish community of faith, love and service.
The PPC serves a three-year term, and facilitates proper consultation and common action in matters concerning religious formation and pastoral action in the Parish, and promote and make proposals to the Parish Priest regarding implementation of diocesan pastoral policy.
St. Mary's Cathedral wasn’t always a cathedral! It was originally built as a regular parish church, but in 1952, it was elevated to cathedral status when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Windhoek was established.
We have a strong value of community; it is because of this value that all ages here are encouraged to learn about their own faith and the role of the church on the community and the world.
Wonderful Family in Christ.
