As Easter is here, I thought it was an appropriate time to answer this question. Yes, there are Catholic churches in Mongolia. Mongolia is an interesting place to be a Catholic, as many people think that the Catholic Community here is the newest and smallest in the world!
Ulaanbaatar has a big cathedral church – it is new and very beautiful. Bishop Wenceslas lives here. He is from the Philippines, and is the leader of the Catholic Church in Mongolia. I sometimes go to the cathedral church as they say Mass in English once a month (most of the time Mass is in Mongolian, which is difficult for me to understand).
My favourite church is the ger church in Ulaanbaatar’s 3rd district. It is one of the poorer districts of the city, so the church is a lot more basic that anything that we are used to in the UK. 
For a start, the church is in a tent! Many Mongolians live in ger tent houses, and the priests decided to make one of these tent houses into a church. The tent is quite big, so 40 people can sit inside.I wish you all a very happy and holy Easter. Don’t eat too much chocolate!
