Mother’s Union is an association of married women concerned with all that strengthens and preserves marriage and Christian family life.

The day was graced by several high-profile individuals from the Buganda Kingdom, including the second deputy katikkiro (premier) and finance minister, Waggwa Nsibirwa. Other individuals at the ceremony were former Inspector General of Government Beti Kamya.

Hundreds of Mothers Union members attended the swearing-in ceremony presided over by Church of Uganda Namirembe Diocese Bishop Moses Banja, who led the service and was assisted by other Reverends, including the diocese dean, the Very Rev. Can. Dunstan Kiwanuka Mazinga.

Bishop Banja, who lauded the previous executive for the good work, urged the new executive to work as a team, be exemplary and respect each other.

"We are praying for you and other departments who are still electing their new leaders,” Banja said.

Committed to serving

Biingi, who expressed deep appreciation to Bishop Banja and the Mother's Union for the new mandate, praised the union’s commitment to serving the Church and supporting families in ways that uphold the dignity of marriage and strengthen family life.

“I am grateful for this confidence in my leadership, which led to my being re-elected. I commit to continue serving with integrity and humility, to the glory of God.”

Prioritise strong families

Nsibirwa, while addressing the congregation, urged parents and guardians to continue prioritising strong family values as the foundation for nurturing morally upright children, warning that societal stability begins in the home and cannot be repaired by cultural institutions alone.

He added that the current collaboration between families and Church leadership creates an environment where children can grow with moral strength and good behaviour.

“Church started from home in the family, and homes are the Church, so Mothers' Union is a very big church,” he said, praising the Union for the good service they are doing in helping each other as married couples.
