Our Pastoral initiatives

PALICA Rumbek (Pastoral-Liturgical- Catechetical Centre)

This centre serves as a nerve centre for the implementation of all our pastoral programmes. It also runs a broad range of orientation courses for those aspiring to join both major and minor seminaries.

Minor Seminary

The diocesan Minor Seminary provides education to aspiring priests, most discontinue their education after leaving the seminary, only a very few continuing on to the Major Seminary in Juba.

Annual Retreat for the priests

The diocesan priests meet at least once per year for the retreat which is designed not only to provide respite but also rejuvenation of their inner spirit.

Diocesan Youth Secretariats

Diocesan Youth Secretariats

Youth secretariats are established in all missions. As well as organizing the annual Youth Congress (a five-day reflection of prayers, entertainment and communal events) the secretariats focus on the delivery of a modern evangelical message with liturgical elements, talks and discussions on topical issues, sports, music and relaxation.

Emergency Food Relief Projects

In times of famine, DOR acts as a beacon of hope providing food for hunger-stricken families.
