The Pro-Cathedral of Ghardaïa[1] (French: Pro-cathédrale de Ghardaïa) or simply Cathedral of Ghardaia, is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Ghardaïa, Ghardaïa Province, Algeria.[2] It succeeded an old Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint-Hilarion in Laghouat that was secularized.
The pro-cathedral or temporary cathedral of his jurisdiction, follows the Roman Rite or Latin Rite. It serves as the seat of the Catholic Diocese of Laghouat (Dioecesis Laghuatensis), which was established by decision of Pope Pius XII by bull Dum Tantis.
It is under the pastoral responsibility of the Bishop Claude Rault Jean Narcisse.
