Origin/meaning
The image of a dove stands for the Holy Spirit coming to bring peace. Kitui Diocese needs to let the Holy Spirit work in as all Christians serve and build the kingdom of God here on earth and rest in peace in eternity when we leave this earth.
The image of the human heart in the coat of arms is a sign to “help me reach out to the people and win their hearts.”
The symbol of a tree with deep roots and large branches depicts the Kingdom of God growing like a mustard seed to become a large tree where birds of the air come to nest and the roots call for firmness in faith as received and transmitted to others in the Church.
The image of the good shepherd symbolizes care for the flock characterized by love and tenderness.
The green color of the tree and grass depicts life; the dark brown soil shows our land and the struggles of our people in food production; the blue color signifies love and devotion to Mary our Mother, Our Lady of Africa. The sky blue with white symbolizes the heavenly glory as we seek to do the will of God here on earth as it is in heaven, while the yellow and white stripes show the colorfulness of our local people who despite their low income always want to shine for Christ.
The Celtic cross at the back of the shield is the link with the Irish Missionaries who were the founders of Kitui Diocese.
