Bishop’s Office
The central office of the Diocese, supporting the Bishop in shepherding the people of God.
Responsibilities of the Bishop and his office
The first responsibility of the Bishop is to carry out the mission of Christ as an apostle, exercising the three-fold office of Christ of sanctifying, teaching and governing (Canon 375).
He is the successor of the apostles and is responsible, as the head of a particular church, for shepherding the people of God towards the Kingdom of God. This takes the greater part of his daily ministry. In exercising his governing office, he counts on several organs which collaborate with him in the general administration of the Diocese.
As the central office, the Bishop’s office carries out:
- Coordinating and harmonizing the parishes’ various services and programs.
- Facilitating the parishes.
- Liaising and interacting with the government and its agencies, NGOs and other faith institutions in the Diocese and districts.
- Coordinating internal policies and interpreting national policies of the Catholic Church.
- Promoting the values and ideas of the Catholic Church at the grassroots, in the parishes.
- Liaising with other dioceses, institutions, and relevant national and international bodies.
- Ensuring that the mission and vision of the Diocese are fully implemented.
- Ensuring all necessary information is disseminated to the parishes.
- Advocacy and lobbying at diocesan policy development levels.
- Coordinating communication between the Diocese and the Kenya Catholic Secretariat.
