Our Cathedral Is Being Renewed to Welcome the Pope

“Caring for the house of God is also caring for the life of every brother and sister.”

Our Cathedral is going through a key stage of its restoration and enhancement. Scaffolding is being installed and machinery is moving both inside and on the façades. To keep visitors and workers safe, the church will remain closed until November 10.

We will reopen its renewed doors to welcome, as the Church of Córdoba, the visit of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.

The parish office remains open from 9 AM to 3 PM. You can also reach it by phone and through our digital channels for sacramental arrangements, Mass intentions and inquiries.

We invite you to live this time as a season of waiting that prepares us for our reunion, and to accompany both the restoration and the Pope’s visit with your prayer.

Official Statement

The Cathedral of Córdoba shares the official statement from its Parish Priest, Fr. Javier Soteras, regarding the participation of Fr. Alejandro Nicola in a recent Eucharistic celebration.

The Cathedral Shines with New Light

As part of the Holy Week celebrations, the Cathedral of Córdoba inaugurated its new ornamental exterior lighting and its renovated sound system, in an event that was much more than a technical improvement: it was a moment of gathering, gratitude and community.
250 LED lights and sodium-vapor lamps now precisely illuminate the domes, bell towers, moldings and the image of Christ, returning to the night sky of Córdoba a Cathedral that shines brighter than ever.
On the forecourt, civic leaders and the faithful shared the blessing of the new lighting. Then, inside the church, they took part together in the blessing of the new sound system, an improvement that transforms the experience of all who take part in liturgical celebrations, concerts and community gatherings.
Both moments were presided over by our Archbishop, Cardinal Ángel Sixto Rossi, SJ, who highlighted the importance of these works for the pastoral and community life of the Cathedral. To close, the new Cathedral Choir made its official debut, performing three pieces under the direction of Milagro Flores.

Caring for this church is, for us, a way to love and serve this city and its people.

Today, the heart of the Church beats with sorrow. We bid farewell to Pope Francis, a humble and close pastor, a profound witness of God's mercy. His warm words, his fatherly gaze and his tireless closeness to those who suffer most will remain forever in our memory and in the soul of our people.

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

May the Lord welcome him into His peace and embrace him with the same love he knew how to show through his gestures and his life. Thank you, Francis, for guiding us with humility and hope. As you taught us, we continue on our way with joy and faith.

Holy Week at the Cathedral of Córdoba: A Shared Experience of Faith

Throughout this Holy Week, our Cathedral once again became a home, a refuge and a meeting place for so many pilgrims who walked with Christ in His Passion, Death and Resurrection. From the joy of Palm Sunday, through the depth of the Easter Triduum, to the renewing light of Easter Sunday, each celebration was lived with reverence, gratitude and a deep sense of community.

We are deeply grateful to all who came, to those who helped in every liturgical detail, and to those who, by their presence or their prayer, made this Holy Week a true witness of hope. Let us keep walking together as a Church, as brothers and sisters, as pilgrims of hope.
