Spiritual Activities at the Cathedral:

Welcome to St. Joseph’s Church, the spiritual cornerstone of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Islamabad-Rawalpindi in Pakistan. Nestled in the heart of Rawalpindi, this sacred haven draws large congregations from Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and neighboring areas for its poignant Good Friday, Easter, and Christmas services each year.

Care for the Underprivileged:

The Church, overseen by Archbishop Joseph Arshad, serves as a beacon of faith and community. Within its grounds, St. Catherine’s Convent stands as a testament to the commitment to education and empowerment. The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary extend their benevolence through the St. Catherine’s Sewing Center, a hub where impoverished women are trained in sewing, crocheting, and embroidery. These skilled women then craft handmade objects for sale, contributing to their financial independence.
