All Saints Kanungu Archdeaconry
All Saints Kanungu was officially opened on 1st October 1995. The Church rapidly grew from a hill of St. Peter’s Cathedral Nyakatare, to a sub-parish, parish and an Archdeaconry on the same day. According to previous church census, the Archdeaconry has population of about 13,250 Christians who are mainly Bakiga. The main town of All Saints Archdeaconry is Kanungu Town Council. Main economic activity is agriculture and the main cash crop is coffee and tea.
Appreciation goes to Mr. & Mrs Matayo Rukanyangira (Catholics) who agreed to sell their space to the church when the then Bishop John Wilson Ntegyereize approached them with the idea of constructing a church in the town.
