Cathedral of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

The Cathedral of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta in Pristina, Kosovo is a Roman Catholic cathedral currently being built. In 2007 the Government of Kosovo approved plans for the building. [ [http://www.eni.ch/featured/article.php?id=730 Kosovo Catholics plan cathedral to honour Mother Teresa] ] The church's foundation was ceremonially laid by former Kosovo president Ibrahim Rugova, himself a Muslim.

Upon the cathedral's completion, the diocese covering Kosovo will move from Prizren to Pristina. The cathedral will also be one of Pristina's tallest building when it is complete. [ [http://rtv.rtrlondon.co.uk/2008-09-05/3f71d290.html In Pristina's old Ottoman mosque, Muslims gather for prayers] ]
