Peter and Paul is the main church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Faisalabad, 250 kilometers south of Islamabad, Pakistan.
[2] [3][4] The cathedral has played a significant role in promoting harmony and understanding between the nation’s religious communities through events like the 2007 dinner Faisalabad’s Council for Inter-religious dialogue hosted for Muslim leaders and faithful.
In 2004 Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, grand imam (prayer leader) of Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, was chief guest at a ceremony to plant the Peace Pole on the lawn in front of the Cathedral.
The first of these gatherings was hosted by Bishop Joseph Coutts of Faisalabad, who invited Presbyterian Church leaders and laypeople to the Cathedral on January 18, 2008.
[10] At the Jubilee Mass at the Cathedral attended by about 5,000 Catholics from 21 parishes, Archbishop Yllana said that the Vatican was happy to see the number of priestly and religious vocations in the diocese.
