RELIGIOUS NEWS: A total of 1,360 children and 180 animators have participated in this year’s International Celebration of Missionary Childhood Day held at Virika Cathedral.
Traditionally observed in Uganda on the second Sunday of July, the Fort Portal Diocese elevated the event by organizing a three-day celebration that brought together Holy Childhood Missionaries from 33 Parishes out of its 36 parishes.
The celebrations began on Friday at Sts. Peter and Paul Primary School, where the children showcased their talents through Music, Dance, and Drama competitions, centered on the theme: "Children are Sowers of Hope" (Mark 4:3).
In his homily, today at the Mass to finalize the celebrations, Bishop Robert K. Muhiirwa Akiiki encouraged the children to recognize themselves as children of God and to actively sow seeds of hope. He urged them to embrace the sacraments, invite their peers to church, assist their parents at home, and show responsibility in daily life.
