About Cathedral of Our Lady of Fatima

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Fatima is a Catholic cathedral in neo-Gothic style. It is the seat of the diocese of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. It was built between 2003 and 2012, and was consecrated by Cardinal Angelo Sodano on September 9, 2012. It was in 2003 that Bishop Lenga, Apostolic Administrator of Karaganda, obtained permission from the authorities to acquire land for the construction of a new cathedral. The old cathedral of St. Joseph remained small.

The work was financed by donations from abroad to remind victims of the persecutions of the communist regime that sent many priests and lay Catholics in the correctional complex "Karlag". Carried out under the neo-Gothic style, it was built according to Vladimir Sergeyev's plans. Bishop Schneider actively participated in the search for funding from Germany.
