The Kampala Archdiocesan Episcopal Vicar for the Catholic Professionals, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Larry Ssemusu has asked the Catholic professionals of Ggaba Catholic parish to strengthen their friendship and concern for each other. 

 He discouraged the sub-culture of selfishness and individualism, to which he attributed the failure of many educated and highly talented professionals.

Ssemusu later asked the Catholic professionals to be mindful of the needs of the people in their home communities and consequently use their professions and social networks to transform them.

“Catholic professionals should not be seen to be sleeping giants. Please put your faith in action through your respective professions. Accept your turning point. Always endeavor to be people of impact, people who are listened to when you speak. Love your places of origin and always endeavor to transform them using your professions and social networks,” Ssenusu said.
