All Saints' Cathedral, also known as All Saints Church Kisozi, is an Anglican cathedral in Nakasero, Kampala, Uganda. It is the seat of the bishop of Kampala, who serves concurrently as the archbishop of Uganda. Initially built in the 1920s as a hospital chaplaincy serving expatriate Anglicans, the church grew substantially following Ugandan independence and was eventually named the cathedral of the diocese. In 2024, having far outgrown the 1920s building, a modern 5,000-seat cathedral.
History
All Saints' Cathedral was founded in Kampala's Nakasero neighborhood as a chaplaincy to Kampala's colonial hospital in 1912, primarily serving expatriate European Anglicans. In 1962, after Ugandan independence, the church received parish status and membership began to include worshipers of African and Asian origins. In 1972, as the Church of Uganda continued to grow, All Saints' became the pro-cathedral of the Diocese of Kampala, which was formed out of the Diocese of Namirembe.[2]
In 2019, Rebecca Nyegenye was installed by Archbishop Stanley Ntagali as the first female cathedral provost in the Church of Uganda.[3]
