description: "Henry Aruna is a Sierra Leonean prelate of the Catholic Church who is the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kenema since 26 January 2019. Before then, since 18 July 2015, he was Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Kenema. He concurrently served as Titular Bishop of Nasbinca, while auxiliary bishop. Prior to that, he served as bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Makeni in northern Sierra Leone from 7 January 2012 until 18 July 2015. He was appointed bishop by Pope Benedict XVI on 7 January 2012. He was consecrated bishop one year later in Freetown on 5 January 2013. Due to hostility towards his installation at Makeni, he never took Canonical possession of the diocese. On 18 Jul 2015 Pope Francis appointed him auxiliary bishop of Kenema. Following the death of Bishop Patrick Daniel Koroma, the previous local ordinary of Kenema Diocese, which occurred on 14 December 2018, The Holy Father appointed Bishop Henry Aruna as the new bishop at Kenema, effective 26 January 2019."
