BISHOP’S MESSAGE ON THE RESUMPTION OF THE CATHEDRAL CONSTRUCTION MASS AND FUNDRAISING
Kasese Diocese – 13th July 2025
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace be with you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I write to you today with great joy and renewed hope as we prepare to resume the construction of our beloved Kasese Diocese Cathedral. On Sunday, 13th July 2025, we shall gather as a diocesan family to celebrate Holy Mass and launch a fundraising drive to continue the building of this sacred house of God.
This Cathedral is not just a structure of stone and mortar it is the heart of our Diocese, a spiritual home for generations to come. It stands as a symbol of our unity, our faith, and our shared vision to glorify God through service, sacrifice, and stewardship.
As a Diocese, we have already journeyed a long road. Thanks to your prayers, generosity, and commitment, the foundation of our Cathedral has been laid, both physically and spiritually. Now, the Lord calls us once more to rise and build (Nehemiah 2:18), to take our part in completing the sanctuary where God’s people shall worship, pray, and encounter His grace.
I, therefore, humbly appeal to all the faithful individuals, families, parishes, institutions, well-wishers, and friends of Kasese Diocese to generously support this cause. No contribution is too small when it comes from a heart of faith and love. Let us each bring our offering, our talents, our prayer, and our presence on this special day.
Let this Mass and fundraising event be not only a step forward in construction but a renewal of our unity as a Church family. Let it be a witness to what we can achieve together when we walk by faith.
May Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede for us. May the Lord bless every hand that gives and every heart that prays. And may this Cathedral rise as a testimony of our love for God and His Church.
Looking forward to seeing you all on 13th July 2025.
In Christ our Cornerstone,
✝️ Rt. Rev. Francis Aquirinus Kibira
Bishop of Kasese
