The Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral[1] also simply called Cathedral of Bo, is a religious building belonging to the Catholic Church, and is located in the town of Bo the second largest in population (behind Freetown, the capital) and of the Southern Province, in the African country of Sierra Leone.
