Muslims in Cambodia
The Muslim community is a significant part of Cambodia’s population. Their numbers are not large, less than 10%, but they have figured greatly in the history of the region through the centuries. The Cambodian Cham ethnic group is predominantly Muslim and there is even a province named Kampong Cham. The Muslims are not so noticeable politically but they do have a good number of mosques in certain provinces, including this one in Phnom Penh.
Epiphany in Phnom Penh 2018
Every year Bishop Olivier has a gathering on the Sunday of Epiphany, inviting the lay missionaries, sisters, brothers, and priests, and the leaders of all the Catholic communities of the diocese.
