That coudnt be the biggest. There was a slide show some weeks back on a book release about the churches of Pakistan. The churches featured in that book were much bigger than this. Congratulations to All Karachiwallahs !

Indeed marvelous. A work of art I must say. I wonder how permission was allowed to build this, considering that we have not seen any new churces being build since ages.

wao! thts superb, God bless to the bishop, pastors, and to the church builders who bought this great Idea to christians of karachi,

Peace on earth! Good will to all men! lets have three cheers for peace....HIP...HIP...HOORAY!!

I am a cadiologist in United States, I felt exremely happy to see the pictures of this beautiful church. Every body on this earth should be able to practice his/her religion without any fear.

I am very happy to see that people in Pakistan are becoming more tolerant.

Congrats to our Christian Pakistani brothers and Sisters!!!!! I love this...Ihope we have more stories like this!!!

As a Muslim Pakistani I am pleased to see our fellow Christian Pakistanis building their churches and happily practicing their religion. Most Muslims are tolerant of other religions and would like to see the followers of all religion enjoy equal rights as equal citizens of the country. Pakistan will be stronger for that.

Religious tolerance is the only way forward towards progress. Great milestone...

It seems smaller than the one located in Peshawar Cantt (beside Masjid Derveish) that one is amazingly beautiful. Just wondering how come this new church lack benches?

Thats beautiful. Another interesting architectural feature that I observed is that Mosques in the US and many other Western countries also have similar design as this Mega Church in Pakistan, with large square building, and arched windows, due to building code regulations of local municipalities and also to blend in with the rest of the Western architectural styles, which emphasis more on Square and straight features as opposed to Domes and Round features of the Eastern and Muslim cultures.

Very good. All religions should help the other religion to prosper ... I am from Kerala, India

May God bless this beautiful church and allow us to feel the importance of Jesus Christ in our life, lot of wishes & Blessings for Fr. Mario & Team.

There is no restriction onbuilding anyreligious building even fees for approval are based, it is European Countries and USA where there is restriction even on wear religious cloths. Afraid of truth!

I am happy for the Christian community they have this facility, I am not Pakistani and personally I have never seen any overt persecution of Christians in Pakistan, if they are poor the majority Muslim community is in the same boat and they should work together to change the status quo. People of both religions need to eradicate both drug addiction and alcohol addiction from their communities as both contribute greatly to poverty and education is a key factor in raising both above the poverty line in years to come. Both Christians and Muslims are guilty of provocative language against each other religion(I have heard this myself from both sides) and they should learn to respect each other instead of listening to over zealous uneducated Imans and priests funded by over zealous foriegn christian churches

Muslims and Christians in our region have lived in peace for centuries.We are the children of Ibrahim AS. May we return to that tradition and God bless ALL Pakistanis!

Just by erecting a building does not mean people have shown tolerance. Tolerance will be tested under any kind of pressure. Let us hope that this Church and Christians will then survive.

Good going Karachi! May our nation learn to care for the PEOPLE who frequent this Church building as much as we are celebrating this structure- beyond Karachi's borders, may the Church in Pakistan ie the Christian people in Pakistan, know they are celebrated and respected, protected and allowed to grow. This is fantastic and we give thanks for what this signifies of tolerance, hope and possibility. May many a Mass be read at this Church and may many a prayer for peace and goodwill be prayed for our country.

dear arif i dont think the europeans are afraid of truth,the question is are the pakistanis afraid of truth

Excellent! Very happy to see this church in Pakistan. In my experience, there is a lot of love, respect for humanity and tolerance in Pakistan. Let this building - and all the other churches and temples in Pakistan - serve as a symbol of these finer human traits.

Dear Mr. Rakesh,I think no one is afraid of the truth but I do agree with Mr. Arif concerning the fear of Islamic clothing(Hijab-Burka) in Europe.Where is the freedom of religion???

God bless you Saba for asking how permission as granted for this Church to be built. Also thanks to all my Muslim Brothers and sisters for their good wishes for this ne church. There should be a lot more tolerance between us Muslims and Christains. Amen

Most Pakistanis are a tolerant people. Back in 1993 I had an Iranian Bahai tell me that "Pakistan is a very tolerant country". His exact words. He told a seminar that I attended how Bahais escaped the Iranian revolution and found refuge in Pakistan and Turkey. Ofcourse, that was the Pakistan before General Zia's Islamization campaign had kicked off. Fruits of which we are seeing today.

I am so happy to read about the new church, but what is amazing is that there is Perpetual Adoration around the clock! this is what makes me so happy!! we need to have this in as many churches as possible to continously prayer for peace. God is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.
