We’ve seen a few Nigerian priests at our parish, and a Ghanian bishop came for a visit. They have been pretty good, and have rather stricter standards in the confessional. If you used to get off with a simple “our father and hail mary”, you will have a bit more to do to complete your penance.

But the US has always been a missionary field. Look at all the Irish clergy, and the German clergy who served my ancestors on the Kansas prairie.

According to the census of 2002, Christians made up about 84% of Uganda’s population.[106] The Roman Catholic Church has the largest number of adherents (41.9%), followed by the Anglican Church of Uganda (35.9%). Evangelical and Pentecostal churches claim the rest of the Christian population. There’s a growing number of Presbyterian denominations like the Presbyterian Church in Uganda, the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Uganda and the Evangelical Free Church in Uganda with hundreds of affiliating congregations. The next most reported religion of Uganda is Islam, with Muslims representing 12% of the population.[106]

You got it.

In my hometown, in the northern part of it, there is a viberant Ghanian Catholic community. Also a number of Nigerians in my parish as well.
