The St. Mary's Cathedral [1] also called Jammu Cathedral is the name given to a religious building that is affiliated with the Catholic Church and is located in the city of Jammu,[2] the state capital of Jammu and Kashmir, in north part of the Asian country of India.[3][4]

The temple follows the Roman or Latin rite and is the mother or main church of the Diocese of Jammu-Srinagar (Dioecesis Iammuensis-Srinagarensis) which was raised to its current status in 1986 by bull "Qui Sanctissimi numinis" of Pope John Paul II .

It is under the pastoral responsibility of the Bishop Ivan Pereira who was appointed to that position by Pope Francis in 2014.[5]
