The Kitui diocese logo was developed by the St Patrick’s Missionaries who were the first to work in East Africa.
The Cross in the logo represents Christian values of Justice, Respect, Equality and the Kingdom of God. The hut represents the "Place of Community" where wisdom is passed on. The hut also represents the family: we remember that Africa is the refuge of the Holy Family (Flight into Egypt). The hut also reminds us of Community, Co-operation, and Simplicity, of African traditions and culture, and respect for the elders and the wisdom they pass on.
The tree tells us that the environment is not separate from Christian and African life, but part of it.
Overall the Logo says that faith, life, world, me, us- all are connected: we are the Christian/African community. It also says “I am because we are”. The logo says that the Church in Africa wants to work from the centre of the family outwards.
