Facts and practical information

Warispura is a small, yet significant district of the city of Faisalabad, located in the heart of Pakistan. It is a unique place, mainly because of the presence of the Holy Rosary Parish, which serves as the center of the Christian community's life in the region.

The Holy Rosary Parish in Warispura was founded in 1898 and has since played an important role in the religious and cultural life of the local community. It is one of the oldest and most significant Catholic parishes in Pakistan, being an important center for the faithful in the region.

The parish church, being the main point of the parish, is a building of great historical and architectural significance. It was built in the Gothic style, which is unusual for this part of the world and constitutes an important element of the Christian heritage in a country with a predominantly Muslim religion.

Warispura, although relatively small, plays an important role in promoting tolerance and mutual respect among different religious communities. The Holy Rosary Parish regularly organizes events that contribute to interfaith dialogue and understanding, which is crucial in a country where religious diversity often comes with challenges.

The district is also known for its social and educational activities. There are several schools in Warispura that are open to children from different backgrounds, regardless of their faith. This activity contributes to the development of the local community and promotes values such as equality and education for all.
