“Here in Kazakhstan, relations between Muslims and Catholics are not
just good, relations are very cordial and friendly: religious
affiliation is not a cause of division; we all live together in what I
would define a spirit of harmony”. These are the words of the
68-year-old Bishop of Karaganda, Fr. Adelio Dell’Oro. Karaganda is a
densely populated city in the centre of the country. The diocese, which
covers an area two and a half times the size of Italy, includes twenty
parishes (the two remotest ones are 1700 km apart), 18 priests, nine of
whom were born in Kazakhstan. Fr. Adelio knows the country well : he has
lived in Karaganda for more than 10 years – from 1997 to 2009 – and in
Astana, as a fidei donum priest from the Italian diocese of Milan. He
returned in 2013 after he was nominated bishop, first as the Apostolic
Administrator of Atyrau and then as a pastor in Karaganda.
