On the occasion of the feast day of the Roman Catholic Cathedral "Divine Providence" in Chisinau, the Charity Foundation "Caritas Moldova" sends its warmest congratulations to all the faithful and members of the Diocese of Chisinau. This holy day marks a special moment in the spiritual life of our community, celebrating the consecration of a place of worship that represents the heart and soul of the Diocese.

The "Divine Providence" Cathedral in Chisinau is not only a symbol of our faith and devotion, but also a testimony to the history and perseverance of the Catholic community in this area. From its construction in 1843 until 1963, when the communist regime confiscated it abusively, turning it into a recording studio and then a warehouse, the Cathedral served as a place of spiritual refuge and prayer for the faithful. After a long period of suffering and waiting, on 30 June 1989, it was returned to Catholic parishioners and its spiritual rebirth culminated in its elevation to the rank of Cathedral by Pope John Paul II on 27 October 2001.

The capital renovation in 2002-2005 and the re-consecration on 24 May 2008 by the Most Reverend Bishop Anton Coșa restored this holy place to its original splendour and purpose, making it a pillar of religious life in Chisinau.

Today, on the anniversary of the Consecration of the Cathedral, Caritas Moldova Charitable Foundation expresses its gratitude and appreciation to all those who contribute to maintaining the spirit of faith and charity in our community. Let us rejoice together in this solemn moment and continue to support the neediest among us.

With our best thoughts and blessings,

Caritas Moldova Charitable Foundation
