The Katholische Gemeinde Kapstadt is the community for all German-speaking Catholics (German, Austrian, Swiss and Namibian) living in the area of ​​the Archdiocese of Cape Town. We are fortunate to count many South Africans to our congregation. We are a branch of the German Catholic Bishops Conference, its Foreign Secretariat, KAS.

Our faith is based on the triune God. We cater for the religious needs of our community and welcome all tourists who would like to take part in our church services and activities.

Our parish council, finance committee and the pastoral worker strive to develop and plan activities to stabilize and grow the community.

The center focus of pastoral work is celebrating the Sunday Mass (live and via Zoom) and developing our community.

We offer ecumenical services and educational talks, prepare children for the sacraments, as well as one-on-one counseling.

Our outreach projects survive from the support by local businesses as well as generous donation from individuals here and overseas.

Please do have a look at our monthly Newsletter: You will find references to planned worship services, events and other relevant information from our church.

Our congregation is financially supported by the foreign secretariat of the German bishops' conference. In future we will greatly rely on generous donations and the weekly  collection held during the Sunday service. We thank all who support us with their contributions.

We are looking forward to your visit, your suggestions and participation – together we are the church.
