The Last Supper Church, Rostov-on-Don

The The Last Supper Church (Russian: Церковь Тайной Вечери) It is a Catholic church in Rostov-on-Don in Russia, which depends on the Diocese of Saratov.

The history of the Catholic parish of Rostov-on-Don began in the second half of the nineteenth century, in a community that at that time had more than five thousand faithful. But like many churches in the country, Rostov church was destroyed by the communists in the mid-twentieth century. The parish was reborn in 1992 when normal relations are established between the State and the various denominations, after the fall of the Soviet Union. She received a small grant from a wooden chapel in October 1993.

The first stone of the present church was laid in the spring of 1999 and construction of the parish. The church was consecrated on September 19, 2004 by Bishop Bishop Pickel of Saratov. The number of faithful who regularly attend Mass is about four hundred people, many of whom are Catholic Armenian origin.
