Meeting with Priests and Archbishop

On Sunday, we attended mass at a Catholic Church at a neighbouring village.  The choir was amazing, especially the drummer.  Children was sitting on the floor in the front and the adults were sitting at the back on benches.  Father Dimas was the celebrant that day.  At the end of the mass, we were given an opportunity to address the congregation and we humbly asked for their prayer for the church in America as America is facing many social issues such as legalizing homosexual marriage and killings of innocent babies in the mother's womb all in the name of free will and personal choice.

We had a good meeting with the parish priests over tea and bread.  We found out that the Catholic church there is also called St. Joseph, which is the same name as our home parish in Arlington, Texas.  They showed us the santuary that they have been trying to build for the last twenty years.  Their last building collapsed and they are currently using a temporary building for services.  At this time, they are collecting funds to put on the roof.  We also had the honor to meet with the archbishop of Tororo, Archbishop Denise Lote Kiwanuka.  We discussed the possible partnership with TCAN and building a relationship between our churches.
