Through Rome

Catholicism came to Djibouti in 1885, when the first French Capuchin missionaries arrived.

There are around 5,000 Catholics and five Catholic parishes all over the country - just less than 1% of the total population. The country forms a single, exempt diocese - the Diocese of Djibouti.

In 2020, the Vatican noted that there are 5 priests and 24 nuns in the country.
