Mukono Diocese builds new Cathedral

By Hannington Sebuliba 

Mukono Diocese has started construction of a much bigger new St. Phillip's Cathedral next to the current Cathedral. 

The new Cathedral will have a dome similar to St. Paul's Cathedral Namirembe. 

Launching the "10 in 40 Campaign initiative"  to support the cathedral's roofing project, marking the third phase of construction, the Bishop of Mukono Diocese, Rt. Rev. Enos Kitto Kagodo called upon Christians to raise a minimum of 10,000= every day of the Lent season so that each card will be able to raise 400,000= by the end of the 40 days of Lent.

This campaign kicks off during Lent and runs for 40 days, inviting all participants to contribute a minimum of 10,000 shillings or more per day over the specified period.

The campaign's 40-day duration is designed to coincide with the Lenten season, fostering a sense of community and spiritual reflection among participants as they contribute to the cathedral's construction.

"We therefore encourage all Christians and all well-wishers to participate in this endeavour" Bishop said.
