Let all that you do be done in love.
Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity.
Nebbi Catholic Diocese now 21 years was part of the then Gulu Apostolic Vicariate which started or was declared in 1923. Just as Gulu developed from one state to another, this diocese was not yet in plan, though there were already some parishes scattered to help the Faith which was already growing well among the people as they had received it with great joy and as a special gift from God. It is proper to mention in general some of the people who have been very active and instrumental in the growth of this diocese like the missionaries (Comboni), the early Christians, civil authorities, both traditional and government leaders of that time and the first catechists. We thank them for their generous participation in the growth of this diocese.
