Diocese of Kampala

Dear Friends of Mission, I would like to mention the need for a well in the parish of Panagia Myrtidiotissa, (Our Lady of the Myrtles),

On the afternoon of October 11, His Beatitude Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa Theodore II arrived at Entebbe International Airport accompanied by

The same year 1997 His Eminence the new Metropolitan Jonah of Kampala and All Uganda appointed me rector to the historic parish of the Transfiguration in the village of Degeya. Historic parish indeed, because this was the first parish of the local African Orthodox Church…

Despite the financial difficulties that we have been facing, there has been an extraordinary effort by members of the Orthodox Missionary Fraternity to get two building projects completed in the parish community of Transfiguration, Degeya of the Holy Metropolis of Uganda…

We believe that if you help us buy this land and six cows, after at least two years, this small farm will be a source of income and will provide milk for our schools, giving an opportunity to the orphans and the poor children that we support to drink milk every day from their own farm…

When the current economic crisis emerged so abruptly, the flock was not yet mature enough to bear material, social and spiritual fruit for self-sustenance and perpetuation of the missionary work…

848 students are in need of support

There are 67 clerics within 105 communities, which have been marked into 9 ecclesiastical districts and deaneries. 250,000 – 300,000 people comprising the orthodox population of Uganda.
