In 2010, the Anglican Church of Rwanda bishops voted to create a new diocese in the northern parts of Kigali. The first diocesan bishop was Onesphore Rwaje, who was simultaneously elected archbishop of Rwanda to succeed Emmanuel Kolini.[1] In 2016, Rwaje and Rwandan First Lady Jeannette Kagame celebrated the 50th anniversary of Mothers' Union programs in an event in the diocese.[2]
In March 2018, Rwaje inaugurated the newly built, 1,000-seat Holy Trinity Cathedral in the Kibagabaga parish. Later that year, Laurent Mbanda succeeded Rwaje both as primate and as bishop of Gasabo.[3]
Educationedit
The Gasabo Diocese offers early childhood, school-based and vocational education offerings.[4] In addition, more than 7,000 members participate in 180 Bible study programs across the diocese.[5]
