The Apostolic Vicariate of Alexandria is home to a number of religious orders and congregations, which has always been one of the essential features of the Latin catholic Church in Egypt.

It oversees a network of churches, schools, hospitals, and other institutions that serves the Latin Catholics, but also people from other confessions, including Muslims.

Nowadays, the Latin Catholic Church includes a number of Egyptian nationals and a lot of people from different countries of all the continents.

The Catholic Church has a long and storied history in Egypt, dating back to the early days of Christianity.

Over the centuries, other Roman Catholic orders such as Lazarists (1844), Brothers of La Salle  (1847) and the Combonis (1867), also establish missions in Egypt, building churches, schools, and other institutions to serve the local community needs.

Today the Vicariates serves the entirety of Egypt and remains committed to promoting Catholic faith, education and charitable works.

Since becoming bishop, Mgr LURATI has focused on continuing the mission of the Vicariate to serve the Latin Catholic community in Egypt.

He has emphasized the importance of interfaith dialogue and has worked to build strong relationships with leaders of other religious communities in the country.

He has also strongly encouraged pastoral care, working closely with priests and other leaders to provide spiritual guidance and support to the faithful.

Bishop LURATI is also deeply committed to helping migrants in Egypt, recognizing their challenges in adapting to a new country and culture.

Through his leadership, Bishop LURATI has helped to build a solid and vibrant Latin Catholic community in Egypt.
