Moscow, Russian Federation: Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

The principal Roman Catholic church of interest would probably be the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Construction took place from 1901-1911 with notable contributions from the Polish community in Moscow. It was confiscated by the government in 1938, returned to the Church in 1996 and re-consecrated in 1999. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Moscow and one of three Roman Catholic churches in the city.

It is built in the Gothic style and has one of the largest pipe organs in Russia. As a result it is home to many concerts in addition to the Holy Mass. The acoustics and this remarkable organ make concerts here an experience to remember.

This imposing Cathedral has vigil Masses on Saturdays in both Russian and Latin. And, according to their website, the Sunday Mass schedule in various languages (including English) as follows (be sure to check ahead of time):
