WAKISO - The Archbishop-designate of Kampala Archdiocese, the Most Rev. Paul Ssemogerere has paid tribute to the Catholic Brothers of Christian Instruction, locally referred to as the Brothers of Kisubi, for their enormous contribution to the development of Uganda and the world.
He spoke highly of the Brothers dynamic educational ministry, which he said has produced many eminent people, who are serving humanity in Uganda and elsewhere in the world.
He put it to the Brothers to practice their charism of educating children/youth with even greater commitment, to be able to overcome the contemporary challenges that have been caused by global permissiveness, moral degeneration and propagated anti-Christian sentiments.

“Today we have the challenge of the many anti-Christian sentiments that are being promoted through the mass media. We also have the challenge of unprecedented permissiveness, secularism, moral decadence, poverty.
You need to work even more zealously to make Christ more known to the people, especially the children and the youth, to whom you have always been committed,” Ssemogerere said.
