Ediofe Cathedral Renovation Project
In June 1928, feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Msgr. Vignato Antonio, a Comboni Missionary, consecrated the newly built church of Ediofe and dedicated it to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The church, the future Cathedral of Arua Diocese, measures 45 x 14 meters. It was built without using cement and the termites during these 87 years have found the way to invade the walls and to destroy part of the timber of the roof. Besides, the number of Christians has increased dramatically.
The need of renovating and extending the cathedral was felt several years ago. A group of engineers and other professionals, born in Arua but living in Kampala, volunteered to prepare a new plan and organize some fundraising.
In April 2013 Bishop Sabino O. Odoki wrote a personal letter to each adult Catholic of the diocese asking a donation of UGX 5,000 (about $2) for the renovation and extension of the cathedral.
The Cathedral is reroofed. Plastering the walls of the interior of the Cathedral is on going. Windows are under construction.
