Fr. Taban Patrick Qwiriko, S.J.
After his ordination to the priesthood on August 6, 2021, his first mission was to Juba, South Sudan, to search and find land for the construction of a peace and reconciliation center and Jesuit residence. He also became involved as a lecturer in the Faculty of Peace and Justice at the Catholic University of South Sudan. He helped the South Sudan JRS country office in the communications department and attended to the pastoral needs of JRS. His duties also included working with the child and vulnerable adult protection offices in the province.
He is passionate about the education of the poor and marginalized, especially the displaced. His dream is to tell their stories through film and make them know how much God loves them, despite their difficult situations. He is committed to peace, justice and reconciliation in order to achieve peaceful coexistence.
