Missionaries of Africa, Jinja

Thanks Sister for your wonderful guidance!!!

The solemnity of the Immaculate Conception being a felicitous day to the church, the family of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers) was filled with Elysian happiness as they congregated for the celebration. In the nick of time, all roads were heading to Lourdel House and delightfully enough to note were the colossal number of the White Fathers, Friends of the Missionaries of Africa coupled with the presence of the students from Lavigerie Formation House Jinja who provided a choir that meticulously and triumphantly animated the liturgy. The occasion began with a vivacious procession of the smart White Fathers all clad in their habits and a very bodacious choir echoing the songs of rejoicing like the blessed seraphim and cherubim all adhering onto each other in a joyful mood.

It is few days ago since we commemorated the death of Cardinal Charles Lavigerie, the founder of the Society of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers). As the community of Lavigerie, we are so grateful to commemorate this day with our friends. The celebration was led by Rev. Fr. Kato Otto, the Ugandan vocation animator. He started by welcoming and congratulating each one who was present for that day of which he attributed their love for the community. He defined Lavigerie as a man who had a strong character with missionary zeal. Furthermore, he attributed the Uganda Martyrs to Lavigerie’s missionary work since he was the first person to send missionaries to Uganda in conjunction with by then the Pope. He said that Lavigerie’s desires and interests did not stop him in extending the kingdom of God that is Christ’s mission. He challenged everyone who was present to take on the same example. Fr.
