Bishop John’s Lent Appeal

Bishop John’s Lent Appeal this year will raise money for our partner Diocese of Morogoro in Tanzania.

The pandemic has meant a particularly difficult time for the Diocese of Morogoro, but in recent months, Bishop Godfrey has created a number of new parishes.

The Diocese is looking to become self-supporting and is hoping to open an education and conference centre which can hired by others – Baraka House (Blessing House).

Bishop Godfrey said: “The diocese has a remarkable location for business site in Morogoro. All funding to build Baraka House is coming from parishioners with each parish assigned a specific target for an annual contribution. Covid-19, drought and flood have all affected harvests and therefore reduced incomes, but we are not discouraged – God is strengthening our parishioners and clergy to meet this goal. It is with great gratitude that we receive news of this heart-touching appeal for Lent. The parishes of Morogoro and parishes of Worcester are now holding hands together for the Baraka House project.”

Once Lent begins, you will be able to donate to Bishop John’s Lent Appeal on the diocesan website.
