Albanian Catholic Church

The Albanian Catholic Church is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, centered in Vatican City, and serves Albanian-speaking Catholics. It has a rich history dating back centuries and plays a key role in religious, cultural, and social life in Albania and Albanian communities abroad. The Church conducts regular services, sacraments like baptism and marriage, and promotes faith, education, and charity. It operates dioceses and parish churches, guided by bishops and the Pope. While a minority in predominantly Muslim and Orthodox Christian regions, the Albanian Catholic Church maintains its distinct identity through traditions, pastoral care, and its contribution to Albanian heritage.
