Below you will see a few interior photos of this Catholic parish located in Vladivostok, Russia. I ask everyone to be generous in giving for its complete interior renovation (for more photos see: www.vladmission.org) .
The cornerstone of this church reads 1908 and in 1923 it was created a cathedral (the Cathedral of the Most Holy Godbearer). It has survived the Communist Revolution and remains the largest Catholic parish in that pocket of the world.
The beauty of this church, the pride and boast of the local population, is its neo-Gothic wonder. It rises above the nearby Sea of Japan, its distinguishing feature being the pointed arch and clustered columns with carved capitals.
Please consider assisting the faithful Russian Catholics in their project for a complete and authentic interior restoration.

Thank you yes we will give.
When I think of the Catholic missions in Russia, I think of St. Paul. He was so sure about the progressive realization of God’s salvific plan, that he uses grammatical past tenses, as if everything were already accomplished. It is a theologico-mystical vision of salvation already present right now, but not yet definitive and perfect.
many thanks and please pray for progress! in russia there is always the quicksand of the cumbersome bureaucratic apparatus (it's cultural - the big fish eats the small fish). pray for christian business ethics and spiritual men, monks and contemplaties for russia.
Is that the diocese where a new, small order of nuns from the City of St Paul are serving?
Sisters in Jesus the Lord?
indeed that this them: see www.cjd.cc and thank you for your support of this worthy effort...
