The cathedral project and its setting

A July 2025 mission report recalls Patriarch Theodoros II laying the foundation stone during his 2022 visit to Arusha. The cathedral is part of the developing mission-centre site. It is separate from the older Annunciation church associated with Saint Constantine school.

The wider centre is intended to bring together worship, learning and missionary activity. Its educational proposals form part of the vision for the site's future development.

Neither the account nor the photograph establishes a completed cathedral, a consecration or current arrangements for services.
