Welcome to
Namirembe Cathedral
“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.

Remember to show the same respect for their beliefs that you hope they will give yours.
