The Diocese of Gbarnga

The Diocese of Gbarnga was established in 1986 and the cathedral was opened in 2002. The money received from the Irish National Office in support of projects went towards the normal running of the diocese such as: transportation costs; support to diocesan clergy; payment of seminary fees; repairs to diocesan vehicles and property; supporting the work of catechists and their ongoing formation and housing. It also helped in the on-going development of the diocesan offices, which house the education, health, youth development, women's development and the justice & peace secretariat. Money was also spent in providing solar lighting for the offices and the grounds around the cathedral where the offices are located.

 "On behalf of the faithful of the Diocese I wish to thank you and all who work so hard at World Missions, Ireland throughout the year to raise mission awareness and collect funds to support the work of the Church in so many different places, and I also wish to thank the faithful in Ireland who continue to provide spiritual and financial support." - Fr Chris Brennan SMA

The Diocese of Monrovia

"We certainly count on your very valuable prayers so that the atmosphere will continuously be conducive for the Church to peacefully continue her activities in Liberia", is the response of Archbishop Michael Kpakala Francis' to the recent redevelopment of Liberia. "The Archdiocese of Monrovia has been making frantic efforts through the implementation of various projects to make available to the people the pre-crisis pastoral care they used to receive."

With Irish support, the diocese has been able to renovate the roof of the church of the Immaculate Conception Parish, the St. Ambrose Church and the presbytery of St. Joseph the Worker Parish.

"The Archdiocese is grateful to all those who contributed funds. Be assured of my prayer for all your good intentions." - Archbishop Michael Kpakala Francis
