A word of welcome
Grace and peace from the Diocese of Kumba
Since our erection as a diocese on 15 March 2016 by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, we have journeyed together as a young and hope-filled local Church. Carved from the Diocese of Buéa and entrusted to the patronage of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we labour to bring the tenderness of Christ to every town, farm and fishing community of our region.
Whether you are a lifelong parishioner, a visitor, or simply searching for a spiritual home, you are welcome here. Come and know the Heart that loves without measure.
