The Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral[1] (Indonesian: Katedral Hati Kudus Yesus yang Mahakudus) is the cathedral belonging to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Makassar in the city of Makassar,[2] the capital of South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The first priest to be assigned to Makassar was the father Vicente Viegas who came from Malacca.
After this implementation, several kings and nobles of Sulawesi were baptized in the Catholic Church.
The King of Gowa, Sultan Alauddin (1591–1638) granted freedom of worship to Catholics in 1633.
Two suicide bombers attacked the cathedral on 28 March 2021 on Palm Sunday Mass.
