  • About The Church

    Welcome to St. Bakhita Parish; the fortunate one.

    Located in the heart of Lashibi, we are a Christian family inspired by the virtue of our patron saint, Bakhita, founded on the virtues of love, charity and unity. We uphold Catholic principles and teachings, promote respect, love for humanity and service to the community, and above all, Christ-likeness.

    The church was born from the need to accommodate and bring God closer to the flourishing faithful of Lashibi and its environs. Since its founding in 2005 as an out-station of Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Sakumono, it has grown significantly.

    After over 15 years, Saint Bakhita Parish now boasts a membership of over 1,000 people, a vibrant choir and brass band, children's service and an active youth front.

    Members of the church serve the faithful and the community through Day Groups, ministries and several societies.
