Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Gatchina)

The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Gatchina was solemnly consecrated on November 13, 1911, by Bishop Jan Cieplak in the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary and was assigned to the Church of St. Catherine in St. Petersburg. Before the construction of this stone church, for which believers collected the missing amount to the estimate of 37,319 rubles, Catholic masses were celebrated in the Lutheran church and the hall of the Orphanage Institute. The church was officially closed in 1939, and the half-ruined building was returned to the community in 1994, after which services resumed in the summer of 1996. In 2008–2012, the pastor of the church was Father Henryk Boguszewski SDB.
