St. Theresa's Cathedral, Changchun

It is also called Changchun City Catholic Church or St. Theresa's Diocesan Cathedral (Chinese: 圣德肋撒主教座堂) in Changchun because the bishop of Jilin Diocese moved here in 1994, from Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral of Jilin City.

In 1895, French missionaries arrived in the Changchun area, and in 1898, the first Catholic church was built on the site of the present Cathedral.

[1] In 1969, all religious activity at the cathedral was stopped as the Cultural Revolution swept through the region.

In 1994, the seat of the Diocese of Jilin was moved to the cathedral, and rebuilding efforts were completed in 2008.
