What's Happening Now
The Most Rev. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, of the Archdiocese of Kampala has a vision. On a recent visit to the Mission Office here in Boston, he shared his dream of a different Uganda - one where his people have easy access to health care, financial security and can have their faith enriched locally. He has asked for our help to build these hubs of education. Archbishop Lwanga, a direct descendant of St. Kizito, one of the Ugandan Martyrs, is the head of an Archdiocese that is both urban and rural. The problems range from the street children and homelessness found in the city to the lack of immediate health care and education in the poor banana and coffee farm areas. Watch the video below, to hear in his own words, how his people could be served by multi-purpose buildings, receiving health care, education and faith formation all in one place.
 
 

In Uganda, the average person earns $1300 per year.

Most people are farmers, dependent on the weather and a good harvest to eke out an existence.

And yet, the spread of the faith "to the ends of the earth" is so important to Ugandan Catholics, that in 2007 they prayed, and sacrificed $10,000 to the Propagation of the Faith.

We pray that through the intercession of St. Charles Lwanga and the Ugandan Martyrs their prayers may be answered.
 
 

Bombing in

Kampala

 

     As crowds gathered to watch the World Cup Finals on Monday July 12, coordinated bombings occurred in two locations killing more than 70 people.

A radical Somalian insurgent group claimed responsibility.

    

     Archbishop Cyprian Lwanga (seen below, in a previous Eucharistic celebration in Kampala) sent a message to his people.

    

     “We are deeply saddened and strongly condemn this senseless act of violence that killed and injured innocent people. It reveals the evil and ugly nature of the perpetrators who do not value human life,” he said. Archbishop Lwanga went on to ask those affected by the violence not to react in anger saying that, "...whenever there are misunderstandings, let people embrace dialogue in the resolution of conflicts."

     We pray that all may heed his message of peace.
