CATHOLICDIOCESEOFKABALE-UGANDA
MissionaryCooperationPlan
Every year St. Thomas the Apostle receives a missionary to help raise awareness and support
for people in other parts of the world. The weekend of June 18-19 we will receive the visit of Fr.
Martin Mwongyera, who is a representative of the Diocese of Kabale-Uganda. The proceeds of the
second collection will go towards them to help with the mission of that local Church. Thanks for your
generosity!
Kabale Diocese Profile
Kabale Diocese is one of the 19 dioceses of Uganda, situated in the rural extreme southwestern corner
of the country—about 280 miles from the capital city (Kampala). The diocese boarders Rwanda on
the South West and the Democratic Republic of Congo on the Western side, and serves a population
of 1,500,000 people, of whom approximately 700,000, are Roman Catholic.
Purpose of the appeal
The purpose of my request is to seek financial support toward the development of Rushoroza Health
Center for the rural poor. Through the gracious generosity of many (including Diocese of Bridgeport
faith community), we have managed to complete Phase 1 of the project (outpatient health unit). We
are seeking assistance toward Phase 11—construction of children’s ward, labor and delivery unit, and
emergency room. Healthcare is our most critical challenge as we continue to grapple with tropical life
-threatening diseases such as malaria, typhoid, HIV/Aids, TB, among others. Long term the health
center will also provide most needed diagnostic services as well. Our patients have to travel all the
way to the capital city of Kampala (280 miles away) for disease diagnosis.
We are also seeking assistance for our long-term Kabale Diocese Orphaned and Vulnerable Children
Program. Through our foster home care program, we provide out- reach support to orphaned children
the vast majority of whom have lost both parents and are left all alone to fend for themselves. We provide them with school tuition, clothing, and healthcare. We are currently supporting 386 children out
of well over 20,000 greatly in need of help.
Sincerely,
Rev. Frederick K. Byaruhanga, PhD.
