Poï Basilica is one of the most important religious sites in Wallis and Futuna, marking the place where Saint Pierre Chanel was killed and recognised as the first martyr of Oceania. This sacred complex on Futuna Island combines striking religious architecture with deep historical significance, telling the story of early Catholic missions in the Pacific. Each year on 28 April, Poï Basilica becomes the spiritual centre of large-scale celebrations honouring Saint Pierre Chanel, drawing Catholic pilgrims from across the Pacific region for ceremonies, while outside of major events, visitors can explore the peaceful grounds.
