    The Diocese of Hoima, whose evangelization was spearheaded by the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers), was erected on 9th August 1965, being made up of areas cut from the then Fort Portal Diocese and Lubaga Archdiocese. It started with 7 Parishes, and as of 2019 there are 47 Parishes. The first Bishop was Rt. Rev. Cyprian Dr. Kihangire who later became the first African Bishop of Gulu and died on 1st November 1990. Rt. Rev. Albert Edward Dr. Baharagate succeeded him on 5th October 1969. He retired on 9th March 1991. He was succeeded by the Rt. Rev.  Deogratias Muganwa Byabazaire as the third of Hoima Diocese, who died on 8th February 2014, at the age of 72 years. On 30th November 2015, Vincent Kirabo was appointed Bishop of Hoima, to succeed the late Byabazaire.  On 13th November 2009 Pope Benedict XVI appointed Bishop Lambert Bainomugisha the Apostolic Administrator "sede plena et ad nutum Sanctae Sedis" of Hoima Diocese.  Hoima Diocese comprises eight Civil Districts which make up Bunyoro region: Hoima, Masindi, Kibaale, Buliisa, Kiryandongo, Kagadi, Kakumiro and Kikube.
