Baruipur, on the fringes of Kolkata is synonymous with green orchards. Besides its much-relished fruits, it also boasts of having the world’s first cathedral dedicated to mother Teresa – cathedral immaculate heart of Mary and mother Teresa.
The history goes back to the days when a chapel was set up in 1978 in baruipur under the baruipur diocese.

“The tranquility and beauty of the cathedral is a major draw , attracting people from all faiths, and the cathedral gladly welcomes all.”

The sanctuary is inspired by baroque and Portuguese style. The tiled pattern on the roof lends it a rustic charm.

In the main prayer hall, there are 12 murals on either side of cathedral. The roof highlight the 12 miracles and 12 parables of Jesus Christ .
