History

Serving the Catholic faithful of the Karamoja region of northeastern Uganda, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Moroto (Latin: Morotoën(sis)) is seated in Moroto. Alongside spiritual care, the diocese works with local communities and provides educational and social services, attending to the unique pastoral challenges of the region, where the harsh climate and the semi-nomadic lifestyle of many residents make ministry particularly demanding.
