Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes St. Peter's Cathedral, Rabat a place of pilgrimage
The cathedral of the Archdiocese of Rabat and the place where Pope Francis met Morocco's priests, religious, consecrated people, and ecumenical council during his March 2019 apostolic journey.
Begin Morocco here, not with a vanished colonial Church but with the small, multinational Church Pope Francis described through service, dialogue, and friendship. Join worship if a current schedule is confirmed and leave time to understand the cathedral's living community.
