St. Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe

“A Living Legacy of Faith Since 1890”

Dear Pilgrims, Visitors, and Beloved in Christ,

Standing majestically on Namirembe Hill, St. Paul’s Cathedral is more than a building—it is a testament to God’s faithfulness through generations. As the oldest cathedral in Uganda and the mother church of the Anglican Church of Uganda, we invite you to explore:

A Sacred Heritage

  • Founded in 1890, our cathedral has weathered storms, fires, and rebuilding, emerging stronger each time—just like the faith it represents.
  • The current structure, completed in 1919, blends Gothic architecture with Ugandan craftsmanship, symbolizing the unity of global and local faith.
  • Walk the same halls where Kabaka Mwanga II, Bishop Tucker, and generations of believers have worshipped.

A Place of Pilgrimage

  • Spiritual Heartbeat: Host to enthronements of bishops and archbishops, and a beacon for Anglican worship.
  • Historic Treasures: Marvel at the Buddo-crafted pulpit, the WWI memorial lectern, and stained glass honoring martyrs and kings.
  • Hannington Chapel: Remember the sacrifice of early missionaries like Bishop Hannington, whose legacy fuels our mission.
