On November 2, 2014, the community of African Martyrs of Uganda (AMU) Church in Bull Bay celebrated the blessing of their new pastoral centre by the Archbishop of Kingston, Charles H Dufour.
Also present were Fr Stephen Keusenkothen, pastor of St Benedict the Moor Catholic Church and African Martyrs of Uganda Church; Deacon Len Laidlaw; representatives of Food For The Poor; the St Benedict the Moor Marching Band, and other members of St Benedict the Moor Church.
This new pastoral centre was the result of months of concerted effort on the part of Deacon Peter Espeut, Archbishop Dufour, and Food For The Poor. It involved the rehabilitation of the old caretaker's house that was present on the property.
The new pastoral centre includes a new fully equipped kitchen, a new computer centre, and a library, as well as office, meeting and storage spaces.
It is hoped that the opening of the new pastoral centre will mark a new era of growth for the African Martyrs community, as well as new opportunities to serve the larger community.
