All Saints’ Cathedral, Yambio

All Saints’ Cathedral in Yambio is a historic cathedral of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan in Western Equatoria. Mission Aviation Fellowship, reporting on the church’s centenary celebrations in April 2025, states that the cathedral was built and opened in 1925. The centenary brought bishops and other representatives of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan to Yambio for four days of celebrations, including the church’s primate and other senior Anglican leaders.

The cathedral also has a documented role in the governance of the church. Anglican Communion News Service reported that the 2019 electoral college that chose Bishop Samuel Peni as Archbishop of the Internal Province of Western Equatoria took place in All Saints’ Cathedral, and that his installation was held there.

This confirms the cathedral’s continuing importance as a regional ecclesiastical centre rather than simply a local congregation. A Mission Aviation Fellowship article says the church is thought to be the oldest Episcopal church in South Sudan, but that wording is an attributed assessment rather than an independently established heritage designation; this dataset therefore relies on the firmer documented fact that the cathedral dates to 1925 and celebrated 100 years in 2025.

No reliable source reviewed establishes a miracle, apparition or healing tradition at the site. Its significance rests on its age, continuing worship and leadership role within South Sudanese Anglicanism.
