Tuzze okukuza n’okwoleka obumu bwaffe nga eklezia atambulira awamu. Tuzze okuddamu okwatula okukkiriza kwaffe mu ‘Eklezia, Omu, Omutukuvu, Katolika eyava mu Batume’ era mbeebaza okunyweeza okukkiriza okwo wakati w’ebisoomooza ebibaawo mu bulamu bwaffe, naddala mu maka gaffe ate ne ku mirimu gye tukola. Mu byonna twebaza Omukama Katonda atukuumye ate n’atugabirira ebirungi eby’omwoyo n’eby’omubiri okuva lwe twajaguza olunaku lw’essaza omwaka oguwedde.
Nga tukuza olunaku luno, ebirowoozo byaffe biddayo mu kukuza ennaku bweziti mu myaka egyakulembera, ne bakristu bannaffe bwe twakunngananga nabo, abamu Omukama beyayita, tumusabe abawummuze mirembe. Ntwala omukisa guno okwebaza abasaaserdooti bonna ne Bannaddini abaweereza mu ssaza lyaffe mu bigo byonna 73 ebikola Essaza lyaffe lino. Mwebale kuweereza n’obumalirivu ate n’okwagala, nga mulangirira Evanjiri ya Kristu mu Ssaza lyaffe lino. Mu bigambo bya Paulo Omutume mbakuutira munyiikirire okuyigiriza Ekigambo, mu budde bwonna ne mu mbeera zonna (2 Timoteo 4: 2), obulamu bwammwe bwe butyo bube lugero lw’Amawulire agasanyusa eri abo bemubeera nabo okuviira ddala mu maka, mu Bubondo ne mu bisomesa byonna.
Mu ngeri y’emu ntuusa okusiima kwange eri abakulembeze bonna okuviira ddala ku bubondo, mu bisomesa okutuuka ku lukiiko lw’abakulembeze ku Ssaza. Bassebo ne Bannyabo mwebale okwagala n’okuweereza Eklezia. Nneebaza abasomesa mu masomero gaffe gonna n’amatendekero ag’enjawulo, n’abakristu mwenna okuwagira ate n’okwetaba mu mirimu gy’obutume mu Ssaza lyaffe lino nga tutambulira wamu mu mutima ogwa Synodalite, Eklezia atambulira awamu nga Kitaffe Paapa Francis bwe yatusaba.
Nga tukuza olunaku lw’Essaza lyaffe luno, mbasaba twongere okwebuulirira ku mulamwa ogw’essaza lyaffe ogutukubiriza nti: “Ffe ababatize tutambulire wamu nga twenyigira mu mirimu gy’obutume” (Efezi 6:1-16). Tukyalina omulimu ogw’okuyiga okutambulira awamu mu bigo byaffe, ku mirimu gyaffe egy’obutume ne mu nkolagana zaffe mu mbeera ezitali zimu. Mbakuutira nti nga tugenda mu mwaka omutukuvu, 2025, twongere okwegunjula mu kutambulira awamu, mu bulamu bwaffe, nga abantu ba Katonda. Mu ngeri ey’enjawulo mbeebaza nnyo obumu n’okutambulira awamu bye twolese mu mirimu gy’obutume gyonna ate n’obuwagizi bwonna naddala obwa SAAFU. Mwebale nnyo. Omukama abawe omukisa.
Mbakuutira mwettanire okwezza obuggya naddala nga munyikirira okusoma Ekitabo Ekitukuvu ne Katekisimu awamu n’okufuna Amasakramentu awo musobole okujulira Kristu mu ngeri esingawo, nga mutegeera bulungi era nga munyonnyola abalala ebyo byetukkiriza.
Mbaagaliza okujaguza obulungi nga Abajulizi ba Uganda y’empagi luwaga kwe tusibidde. Nnyaffe Bikira Maria atuwolerezenga bulijjo. Nze Ssabasumba wammwe abaagala era abasabira bulijjo.

The parish is the core of Catholic life in our local communities. In every parish of our Archdiocese, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been particularly acute. Our collective mission to spread the Gospel is challenging without a financial lifeline. It therefore important that our parishes and priests receive the offertory support they need to remain operational through this time without in-person weekly Masses.
