Editor's Note
Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church in Samsun is a place of worship belonging to the Roman Catholic Church and serving the local Catholic community; it is today registered and protected as a first-degree conservation site. The church's origins go back to 1845, when eight Capuchin friars of Italian descent living in Georgia were forced to leave the country and, crossing via the Black Sea, came to Samsun together with the region's churchless Latin Catholic inhabitants. In 1951 French Marist friars built a school on the site where the church now stands and invited nuns to help with the children's education.
