The Holy Spirit Cathedral, located in Accra, is the main church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Accra.

The first proposal to build a Catholic cathedral in Accra came from Apostolic Delegate David Matthews in 1947. This was enthusiastically taken up by Adolph Noser, who in 1950 became the first Bishop of Accra. Following a lengthy search for a suitable site, land in the West Ridge area of Adabraka was purchased from the British crown and the Methodist Church.[1][2]

The cathedral was designed by Joseph Jud, and groundbreaking took place in 1952. The first services took place the following year, although the building did not yet have a roof, and it was completed and consecrated in 1957.[1][2] In 1958, the cathedral was given its own parish.[3]
