Apostolic Prefecture of Yuzhno Sakhalinsk

Catholic church in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk

The Apostolic Prefecture of Yuzhno Sakhalinsk is a Latin Church missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction on the Russian (ex-Japanese) Far Eastern island Sakhalin.

It is exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See (not part of any ecclesiastical province) and its Roman Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, and remains vacant but under apostolic administration.

Its cathedral episcopal see is the Church of St. James, in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
