St. Patrick's Church, Karachi, Pakistan. St. Patrick's Church was built in 1845 (The time when British Empire was ruling South Asia Sub-continent) at a cost of Rs 6,000 raised by the Goan community through public subscription. It was Sindh's first Catholic church. Today it is flanked by St Patrick's High School (Convent of Jesus & Mary school for girls). Both these limestone structures are fine examples of Gothic architecture and lie in a quieter part of Karachi. It was designed by Father Wagner, Brother Kluver and Brother Lao (Members of the Society of Jesus). Its lofty and spacious interior, with a capacity of 1500 worshippers, is lavishly decorated and is enhanced by carrying the vault of the nave in a single stretch from the portal through the transept to the peak of the apse 70 ft tall and 70 ft wide. An interesting feature of this Church is the use of stained glass windows. The Church with its board front, and two striking corner spires is further enhanced by a grand marble monument (erected 1931) to perpetuate the memory of the Jesuit Mission in Sind (1858-1935) and dedicated to Christ, The King, and is inscribed with the words. Thou art Peter, and upon that rock, I will build my church. In a chamber underneath this monument were displayed models of heaven and hell..
