Catholic Church in Gaziantep?

Hello,

I recently was offered a job in Gaziantep that I would start at the beginning of the New Year. I am eager to come, but I am concerned about finding a place of religious worship.

I've been searching to find whether there is a Roman Catholic Church in Gaziantep. If not, any church that is in communion with the RCC is preferable (most Orthodox, Byzantine, Armenian, Antiochan, and Syrian/Chaldean churches are). Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any online information on Christian churches in Gaziantep.

Any information you could offer would be incredibly helpful! Thank you!

Great!

Thank you so much for the information. Pardon my ignorance, but is 'Süriyani' Turkish for Syriac?

The closest Roman Catholic churches seem to be in Iskenderun and Adana. Take a look at the web of the Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia (click on the church for more info). You could also get it touch with them in order to get more info.
