Jakarta is home to a substantial and diverse Catholic community, including a significant international population. Across the city there are regular Mass services held in English, German, French, Spanish and Chinese, catering to the many nationalities that make up Jakarta’s expatriate and immigrant communities. The listings below cover the main options for non-Indonesian language services. Mass schedules can change, particularly around major feast days and Holy Week, so it is always worth confirming current times directly with the parish before attending for the first time.
If you know of a service not listed here, or have an update on any of the information below, please send it to us.
