Two new Catholic churches to appear in Minsk
There are 19 Catholic churches operating in Minsk. It is planned that in the future, two more churches within walking distance will open their doors for believers, Metropolitan of Minsk-Mogilev Jozef Stanevsky told "Minsk-Novosti".
— There are 19 places operating in Minsk where parishioners can come to pray. Among them are those inherited from our ancestors — the Church of Saints Simon and Helena, the Archcathedral of the Name of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, the Church of Saint Roch, as well as newly introduced churches: the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Church of Saint Anthony of Padua, and others, — noted the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Belarus.
The Archbishop pointed out that the year 2026 holds exceptional significance for believers.
— This year marks the 35th anniversary of the restoration of Catholic structures. This is a good occasion to recall the role of the church in the development of Belarusian society, to jointly determine further prospects with state and scientific structures, and to develop so-called "churches within walking distance". It is planned that such churches will appear in Navinki, Zhdanovichi, and some other micro-districts of the capital, — Stanevsky clarified.
