History

The first Catholic missionaries settled in Lomé in 1892. On September 21, 1902, in a solemn ceremony presided over by Bishop Albert, apostolic vicar of Côte-de-l'Or performed the consecration of the new sanctuary, which became one of symbols of urban landscape full expansion of the capital of Togo. On August 9, 1985, Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass in the cathedral.
