SACRED HEART - SAKAKINI Catholic Church in CAIRO The Sacred Heart Parish has been serving the refugee and displaced Southern Sudanese community living in Cairo since 1984. The church is located in the city center in the district of Abbassiya. Regular worship services in both Arabic and English, and Christian educational programs for all age groups are available for the community to attend. In addition, the church offers educational, health, income generation and cultural programs for the wider African refugee community from all faiths so that upon resettlement or repatriation their opportunities for successful integration will be enhanced and Sudanese cultural heritage is preserved. In order to meet the continuing flow of refugees coming from Sudan to Egypt in recent years, two other Christian communities have been established in Cairo in the last five years; the Holy Family Church in the district of Maadi, and the Salesian Church in the district of Zeitun. A church council, comprising of the Parish Priest and eight Sudanese congregational members meets at each of the three church centres to coordinate the work of the communities and encourage the spiritual growth of their members.
