The Eritrean Catholic Church is an Eastern Catholic Church in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. It follows the Aksumite Rite, which is characterized by its unique liturgical practices and traditions. The church primarily serves the Catholic population in Eritrea, a country located in the Horn of Africa. Founded in 2015, the Eritrean Catholic Church became an independent entity, separating from the Ethiopian Catholic Church. It is led by a bishop and focuses on spiritual guidance, education, and social services within the community. The church plays a significant role in promoting peace and unity among the diverse populations in Eritrea.
