About the Church
The Roman Catholic Church of Jumprava is a Catholic house of prayer in the settlement of Jumprava, situated in Vidzeme, near the Daugava, between Lielvārde and Lēdmane. The place name derives from a German word meaning "maiden", and is associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The small Catholic parish of Jumprava belongs to the Archdiocese of Riga and serves the faithful of the surrounding villages. Although the region was historically predominantly Lutheran, the Catholic community here maintains its faith and communal life.
