Kristo Rai Church


The Kristo Rai Church is a Roman Catholic church in the street Kopa Di Oru of the town of Garapan in the Northern Marianas Islands, a dependent territory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, part of Oceania.
The parish is under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Chalan Kanoa. It was first built by the Spanish in 1876 but was terminated by the Germans in the twentieth century church.
After World War II much of the city was destroyed and the original church had to be demolished. A new building was built between 1969 and 1970. The church dedicated to Christ the King was completed in 1978.
