Welcome to Jinja Diocese.
Brief History At the time of its creation, the diocese of Jinja covered a civic area then known as the District of Busoga. It stretches from Lake Victoria in the South, Lake Kyoga in the North, River Nile in the West and River Mpologoma in the North East, making Busoga almost an Island. Now, the region of Busoga although remaining the same, has been subdivided into seven civic districts of: Jinja, Kamuli, Iganga, Bugiri, Kaliro, Namutumba,and Mayuge. This diocese was originally part of the Vicariate of the Upper Nile and later, of the Diocese of Kampala. It was first evangelised by the Mill Hill Missionaries from 1899 onwards after a short-lived attempt by a couple of Missionaries of Africa (1889-1890).
The Rt. Rev. Joseph B. L. Willigers, MHM. was born in Gronsvld (The Netherlands) on the 26th of October 1930, ordained priest in Mill Hill (England) on the 10th of July 1955. Doctorate in Canon Law, Gregorian University Rome 1955-1958, arrived in Uganda in 1959 and transferred to Kenya in 1960. He was appointed first Bishop of the Diocese of Jinja on the 13th July 1967 and was ordained Bishop on the 3rd December 1967. On 02nd March,2010, the Holy Father accepted his resignation from the pastoral care of the Diocese of Jinja.
