The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception for the Archdiocese of Samoa-Apia was dedicated on the 31 May.

Announcing the dedication ceremony on the church TV, Archbishop Alapati Lui Mataeliga thanked the church members for their continuing support in building the church.

Leading the list of overseas guests was the Pope’s representative in the Pacific, Archbishop Martin Krebs, who is based in Wellington, New Zealand.

Built by Father Ricky Bernard and a team of local builders, the project relied on the financial support of the church members.
