The congregation’s Regional Superior for Uganda, Kenya and DRC, Sr. Rita Nabukalu, blew a traditional trumpet (horn), as a symbolic gesture of launching the centennial year.
Activities for the centenary of the apostolate of the Catholic Sisters of Mary Reparatrix in Uganda were on Sunday (February 19) launched by the Archbishop Emeritus of Kampala, Emmanuel Cardinal Dr. Wamala. The celebrations at Bugonga Catholic Church, Entebbe, were graced by several professed members of the congregation.
The congregation's Regional Superior for Uganda, Kenya and DRC, Sr. Rita Nabukalu, blew a traditional trumpet (horn), as a symbolic gesture of launching the centennial year.
Nabukalu later announced that the centennial year would climax with a grand celebration at the Sisters' headquarters in Entebbe on October 11. The celebrations will run under the theme: A century of love and service.
During a mini-fundraising function that was held after mass, Christians pledged about sh8m towards the Sisters' celebrations.
