Eminence (n) is an honorific, a position of great position or distinction. Ex. The eminent Pope Francis is coming to town.
Imminence (n) is the condition of something about to occur. Ex. The imminence of her death was obvious to all.
You may combine both in a single sentence, as in "The imminent visit of the eminent Pope Francis spurred everyone to frenzied activity."
Both words sound similar when spoken; not so when written. Spelling is important in conveying the proper message.
