St. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL PARISH

The Reverend Walter Ataembo

Sunday Service Times

St John's

St. John's is a small parish on the edge of the business centre of the city. Its parishioners come from across the city and so have difficulty in running weekly programmes at night. With the departure of the previous dean the parish fell into something of a hole, dividing up into conflicting groups and losing many of its members because of these differences of opinion. However, over the last twelve months there has been a lot of growth in the parish and the Cathedral is now full on Sundays and it attracts a very different community from before. It is now at the stage where the Bishop can move out and hand it over to a priest rector.

The building and rector's flat (which is effectively the crypt) are in urgent need of repair and the building programme is the next major project being planned. It is hoped that the fundraising will help continue the growth and healing of the community.
