History of the Archdiocese

BRIEF HISTORY
The Story of the Archdiocese of Tororo is closely linked with the development of the Vicariate of the Upper Nile. This Vicariate was established by Pope Leo XIII in 1894 and entrusted to the Mill Hill Missionaries. It comprised the area stretching from St. Peter’s Church, Nsambya (Uganda) to St. Patrick’s Church, Naivasha, (Kenya). Its subsequent history can be looked at in four phases. The first phase (1896-1924) saw the building of mission stations in East Buganda, Busoga, Bukedi, Bugisu and Teso.
The second phase (1925-1950) was marked by the creation of the Vicariate of Kavirondo (later Kisumu) in 1925, thus cutting off the Kenyan portion of the Vicariate. Beginning in the 1930s, there was an increase in the number of people asking for Baptism, to which the Mill Hill Missionaries responded by sending more priests and brothers and doubling the number of parishes. The Vicariate also began to harvest the first fruits by the ordination to the priesthood of the first African priests in this area, namely, Fr. John Eneku (1939), Fr. Philip Odii (1939), Fr. Raphael Kajengo (1940) and others.
Then in 1948, the Vicariate was further divided into two Vicariates. The Vicariate Apostolic of Kampala was under Bishop Billington, resident in Nsambya. The remaining section was formed into the Vicariate Apostolic of Tororo, under Bishop John Reesinck.
The retirement of Bishop Reesinck and the succession by Bishop John Greif in 1951 begins the third phase (1951-1968). The Vicariate was formally erected into the Diocese of Tororo in 1953. This period saw the building of many new parishes, schools, convents, hospitals and dispensaries and a growth in the Catholic population.
On the death of Bishop Greif in 1968, Bishop James Odongo, took over the reins of the diocese, beginning the fourth phase. Since that time, many more parishes have been opened and many indigenous priests ordained. In 1981, the Diocese of Soroti was created, comprising of the then districts of Kumi and Soroti. Fr. Erasmus Wandera was named the first Bishop of Soroti.
On 2nd January 1999, the Holy Father erected the Ecclesiastical Province of Tororo, elevating to the rank of Metropolitan Church, the Diocese of Tororo, and assigning to it the dioceses of Jinja, Kotido, Moroto and Soroti as suffragans. He appointed Bishop James Odongo as first Metropolitan Archbishop of Tororo.On 27th of June 2007, the Holy Father accepted the resignation of Archbishop Odongo and appointed Bishop Denis LoteKiwanuka as the Second Metropolitan Archbishop of Tororo.
On 1st of January, 2014 the Holy Father accepted the resignation of Archbishop Denis LoteKiwanuka and appointed Most Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Obbo, A.J. as the Third Metropolitan Archbishop of Tororo.
