    One of the oldest beautiful Catholic Church situated in the hearts of Jaffna Town, Sri Lanka. It is always kept clean and dust free. It is a great place for worshiping. There is ample space to park vehicles without paying a red cent.

    Most beautiful Church ⛪ I have seen in my life. Very serene atmosphere for meditation. Calm and quiet surroundings. Most suitable place to pray. Situated in the Hospital Street in Jaffna. Very close to the town and adjourning the Army Camp. Really feel God is present here.

    A hallowed church with intricate architecture, set in a serene leafy grove, even amidst the hustle and bustle of Jaffna town

    Currently being reconstructed - an empty shell as of July, 2017, but likely to change!

    Our Lady of Pius Church is a Catholic church located at No. 4 Cross Street, Jaffna. This is a relatively old church, built during the Portuguese rule of Sri Lanka. It is a few meters away from Jaffna Bus Station and Jaffna Railway Station, making it very accessible. The church holds liturgies attended by Catholics from the area. Taken from the Internet
