History
The Diocese of Kasese was established on 6 March 1989 by Pope John Paul II, carved out from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Portal. At the time of its establishment, the region had been served by priests from the Fort Portal diocese, but the geographical challenges and growing population necessitated the creation of a separate ecclesiastical jurisdiction. ==Territory==
