Discover the New Cathedral of Cancun
The project was born as a calling from God to build a worthy cathedral that would be the spiritual heart of Quintana Roo.
Within it, the faith of millions will be nurtured, society will be unified by inspiring everyone toward the common good, future generations will be cared for, the most vulnerable will be sheltered, thousands of visitors from around the world will be evangelized, and the natural beauty and historical legacy of our land will be celebrated.
Stage 1.
Celebration Center
It is the sacred space for the celebration of the sacraments and liturgical worship at the diocesan level. By incorporating the region's lush natural environment with elements of vernacular architecture, it will create an atmosphere conducive to silence, reflection, prayer, and contemplation.
A Cathedral in the Jungle
Creation praises God with flowers and living plants that beautify the temple and raise the soul to the Creator.
High altar
The main altar is the heart of the celebratory center, where Heaven touches Earth in every Eucharist.
Chapel of Perpetual Adoration
A place of silence and living presence, open day and night to be with Jesus in the Eucharist.
Confessionals
Discreet and sacred spaces where all souls will encounter mercy and grace.
Crypts
Surrounded by gardens and bodies of water, the crypts honor the life and faith of all who rest here.
Stage 2.
Community Center
Following the example of the Good Samaritan who takes pity on the injured man, approaches him, anoints him, comforts him, carries him on his horse, takes him to the inn, and pays everything necessary to heal the injured man he finds by the roadside, the new cathedral has this space dedicated to serving the most needy people and promoting the development of their talents so that they can be protagonists of their own destiny.

Garden of the Stations of the Cross
5,000 m² dedicated to commemorating the Stations of the Passion, culminating in the 15th station: the empty tomb. The garden will also feature Marian shrines and altars to saints.
