Still closed church building, Smolensk, Russia
Painting by A.Rusetskaya “100-year anniversary of Smolensk Roman-Catholic Church Building Consecration”

 Thank you for visiting the website of the Roman-Catholic Church parish in Smolensk, Russia. On these pages we plan to tell you about the history of our parish, its current activities, future plans and hopes.  Here you will also find materials related to the old catholic church building, still closed by the state despite numerous attempts to return it to the church - it is still being occupied by the state archive.  We also plan to provide information about the priests who served and worked in Smolensk in previous years and centuries, the names of Christians killed in Smolensk during the years of persecutions in Russia, other information that we believe will help you to learn the history and better understand the present life of Catholics in Smolensk, Russia.
Our website is currently still under construction; we continue to add new materials. We apologize for the inconveniences at present and we certainly will be glad if you return here again in the near future.
