The Nyakishenyi Catholic Parish priest Rev Fr Ambrose Mugisha Kayogooza has commended the Nyakyishenyi sub-county chairperson Wednesday Twinomujuni for his generous support and good heart towards his vision to support Bishop’s Annual Appeal Fund (BAAF).
Bishop’s Annual Appeal Fund is an initiative of Bishop Calist Rubaramira of Kabale diocese which he started to boost development across the diocese and this year’s funds will be allocated to the construction of St Ignatius University in the Kabale district.
Fr Mugisha made these remarks on Saturday while leading a mass at Rwakitura Leisure Gardens in Nyakyishenyi sub-county at the thanksgiving ceremony of Wednesday Twinomujuni as he thanked God for healing him from serious head and leg injuries he sustained after being involved in a motor accident three years ago.
He added that as Christians should know that they are one in Christ therefore Wednesday being a protestant and supporting the catholic projects shows that he is a cooperative and developmental leader who supports both religions adding that even the Kabale diocesan bishop is aware and gave them a go ahead to conduct amass at his home.
Wednesday Twinomujuni said it’s by God’s grace to find that he is still alive and can stand on his two legs because of the accident he got into which was very dangerous to the extent of worrying everyone.
He organized the thanksgiving ceremony as one way of thanking the lord which was led by the Nyakyishenyi catholic parish priest, and all funds collected will be meant to support the BAAF project Soon he will again hold another thanksgiving for Anglican church (protestants) to balance the two religions because they both prayed for him during the trying time he was seeking treatment.
The former Rukungiri district chairperson Andrewson Charlse Katebire, the chief guest thanked all those looking forward to supporting the BAAF project because the university once built will improve the education standards in the Kigezi region.
