The Catholic Church of Baswan was founded in 1896 under the auspices of the Companion Fathers. It is now a center of pastoral and apostolic activity in the Egyptian Catholic churches, where the Kombunian parents and nuns serve in the fields of education and health. The Coptic Catholics have an Egyptian patron of this weather, "Father / Antonius Zekri" who performs all the services of the parish.
The Catholic Church of Aswan was founded in 1896 by The Comboni missioners. The Comboni Paths together with the Sisters animate the local church to the spirit of mission, both in parish as well as in a school and dispensary. Coptic Church services are available, as well, by a diocesan priest "Father / Antonious Zekr"
