    St. Francis of Assisi Church, also the Proto-Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi, is a historic Catholic Church located in the city of Aden, Yemen. The church served as the Vicariate Apostolic of Aden between 1892 and 1974, before it moved to the new headquarters of the Vicariate of St. Joseph's Cathedral in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The church was later abandoned and suffered some damage over the years.
