The Bishop of North Kigezi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Onesimus Asiimwe has lauded Christians across the diocese for positively responding to his call to embrace coffee growing as a sustainable way to boost church income.
Speaking during a press briefing held Wednesday at Kinyasano Cathedral in Rukungiri Municipality, Bishop Asiimwe highlighted that since his enthronement, he has actively championed coffee cultivation during his pastoral visits across parishes and archdeaconries—a message that has since gained traction.
The bishop made the remarks as part of preparations for his 2nd Pastoral Anniversary, which will be marked with a grand thanksgiving celebration on 27th April 2025. He revealed that all proceeds from the celebration will go towards the completion of the new Kinyasano Cathedral, which remains under construction.
Bishop Asiimwe also reflected on the accomplishments since assuming office, noting that his focus on reviving education standards in church-founded schools and spearheading spiritual revival across the diocese has started bearing fruit.
The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Thomas Tayebwa, is expected to grace the occasion as the chief guest.
In his Easter message, Bishop Onesimus urged Christians to use the resurrection season as a time for spiritual reflection and renewal.
The North Kigezi Diocese continues to gain momentum under Bishop Onesimus’ leadership, with spiritual, educational, and economic empowerment efforts reshaping the landscape of church ministry in the region.
