It stands over 24 meters in height. All the windows are of stained glass depicting different religious events. It cost $3.8 million USD to build. OpeningThe Apostolic Nuncio to Pakistan Archbishop Edgar Pena Parra blessed the church at a Mass concelebrated by 37 priests from around the country. The Apostolic Nuncio read a message of Pope Benedict XVI to Pakistani Catholics. Later the Papal Nuncio also blessed the Perpetual Adoration Chapel, a room built of glass in a corner of the church open for prayer 24 hours of the day.[1] MiscellaneousThe church will cater to the people of Akhtar Colony, Mahmudabad, Kashmir Colony and Manzoor Colony.[2] Funding for the project came from the Pontifical Mission Societies, Missio, the Rothenberg diocese in Germany and the Italian Bishop’s Conference.[3] References1. ^AsiaNews 12 November 2011 {{coord missing|Karachi}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Saint Peters Church, Karachi}}2. ^1 Country’s largest Catholic church opens in Karachi’s Akhtar Colony by Saima Saleem, The Express Tribune, 16 November 2011 Retrieved 5 April 2013 3. ^UCANews 11 November 2011 4 : Roman Catholic churches in Karachi|Catholic Church in Pakistan|Roman Catholic churches completed in 2011|21st-century Roman Catholic church buildings |
