On Friday (May 3, 2024) hundreds of Catholic youth from Kampala Ecclesiastical Province converged at YES (Youth Encounter Saviour) Centre Sports Arena, Nsambya (in Makindye Division) to celebrate their annual day. 

Kampala Ecclesiastical Province comprises the Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala, Masaka Diocese, Kiyinda-Mityana Diocese, Lugazi Diocese and Kasana-Luweero Diocese.

The provincial youth gathering this year was nonetheless extraordinary because it also doubled as the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the canonization of the Uganda Martyrs.

During the day and nightlong event, the young people participated in various activities including sports, music, dance and spiritual recollections. They also received moral/marriage tips from Madam Winnie Fernandes, a professional psychologist and head of the married women of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Kampala.

The youth later had a night-long fun session. They enjoyed live musical performances from various ensembles and solo artists including the Police Band, Ssuuna Ben and Trinity Worship Team (from YES CENTRE).
