Visit by Archishop Justin Duckworth to the Diocese

10 July 2025 | MAST Building, Suva, Fiji

His Grace, Archbishop Justin Duckworth, together with his wife Jenny, visited the diocesan headquarters where they were warmly welcomed by Archbishop Sione Ulu’ilakepa and the diocesan team. During their visit, Archbishop Justin met with the executive staff during their weekly Heads of Department (HoD) updates, taking time to listen to the priorities and challenges faced by each ministry area. He also toured the various departments, personally engaging with diocesan staff, offering encouragement, and affirming their contributions to the mission of the church.

Later, Archbishop Justin and Jenny shared a meal at the Bishop’s residence alongside diocesan staff, members of St. John’s College, and their families. This gathering provided an opportunity for informal conversation and fellowship, deepening bonds of friendship and collaboration between the dioceses.

To further strengthen these ties, Archbishop Justin accompanied Archbishop Sione and their spouses on a visit across the Archdeaconry of Suva/Ovalau. They spent time in parishes, meeting with clergy and congregations, engaging in talanoa and learning about the vibrant ministries within these communities. Their presence was a powerful reminder of the shared calling of the Anglican Church to journey together in mission, mutual support, and the proclamation of God’s love throughout our Province. Their visit came to a close with a joyful dinner hosted at the MAST, the diocesan headquarters, where diocesan staff and St. John’s College families gathered to celebrate shared mission and friendship.
