Catholicism came to Djibouti in 1885, when the first French Capuchin missionaries arrived.[1]
There are around 5,000 Catholics and five Catholic parishes all over the country - just less than 1% of the total population.[2] The country forms a single, exempt diocese - the Diocese of Djibouti.
In 2020, the Vatican noted that there are 5 priests and 24 nuns in the country.[3]
