St. Francis Catholic Parish Kyanamira Constitutes Kampala Leadership Team

KAMPALA, UGANDA – September 28, 2025
In a historic step towards strengthening parish identity and community bonds, parishioners of the newly established St. Francis Catholic Parish, Kyanamira, residing in Greater Kampala, have elected their maiden leadership team to coordinate activities in the capital.

The election follows the recent creation of Kyanamira Parish, carved out to meet the pastoral needs of a growing Catholic community in Kabale Diocese. With many Christians from the parish living and working in Kampala, the new leadership structure is designed to keep them spiritually, culturally, and socially connected to their home parish.

Eng. Alex Rubarema was chosen as the Parish Coordinator for Kampala, tasked with providing overall leadership and mobilizing parishioners for both religious and development initiatives.

Other leaders elected to head various centers and offices include:

Daniel Tumwekwase – Coordinator, Kacuro Centre

Evas Rwangoga – Coordinator, Kyanamira Centre

Joseph Ndemere – Coordinator, Muyumbu Centre

Davis Owomugisha – Head of Public Relations and Communications

Sr. Prossy Naturinda – Head of Liturgy

Members emphasized that the new leadership will not only serve as a unifying body for Kyanamira parishioners in Kampala but also as a bridge of collaboration between the diaspora (KKCRA ) and the parish back home.

The leadership has pledged to focus on spiritual growth, coordination of liturgical activities, promotion of cultural identity, and support towards parish projects in Kyanamira.

The establishment of these structures underscores the broader mission of the Catholic Church to build vibrant faith communities, wherever the faithful reside.

The Wedding Homily of Agaba Moses and Nkamwesiga Lillian by Fr. Abel Beinomugisha "God loves you," Fr. Abel Beinomugisha began, a reminder of the profound love that has guided Moses and Lillian to this sacred moment. Drawing from the first reading in Genesis, he reflected on God's creation of man in His image and His declaration that it was not good for man to be alone. God, in His wisdom, sought to provide a helper for man, starting with animals and other creations, yet none were found suitable as a companion. This preparation underscored the unique value of humanity. The beautiful detail of woman being formed from man’s rib reveals God’s intention for unity and complementarity in marriage. Adam’s joyful exclamation, "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh," was a declaration of thanksgiving to God. Similarly, today, Moses rejoices in finding his rib, and Lillian celebrates finding where she truly belongs. Together, they have come to the alt...

Deacon Silas Aharizira Preaches Message of Compassion at Rushoroza–Kyanamira Monthly Mass MAKERERE UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL CHAPEL, KAMPALA – Sunday, September 28, 2025 On the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the faithful gathered at the Makerere University Business School Chapel for the Rushoroza–Kyanamira monthly Mass, where Deacon Silas Aharizira delivered a stirring homily rooted in the Gospel call to simplicity, compassion, and responsibility for one another. Drawing inspiration from the day’s readings, Deacon Aharizira reminded the congregation that sin is not only committed through words and actions but also through failure to act when duty calls. “We sin when we keep silent in the face of suffering, when we withhold what we could give, and when we close our eyes to the needs of those around us,” he emphasized. The first reading from the prophet Amos became the Deacon’s launching pad. Just as Amos warned the Israelites who had grown comfortable...
