It was a day filled with joy and celebration at St. Andrew’s C.O.U. Kitazigurukwa as believers gathered to commemorate Mary’s Day.
During her address, Caroline Ayebazibwe, the Mother’s Union Leader from St. Michael Kyiizooba Archdeaconry in West Ankole, Bushenyi District, urged women to emulate Mary by building strong families through virtue and prayer. She emphasized the importance of seeking God in all matters rather than confiding in others who may spread their secrets. She reminded women that nothing is impossible with God.
Ayebazibwe further encouraged women to remain steadfast in doing good without discrimination, assuring them that God would reward their efforts in due time.
The Chief Guest, Stellah Tumukunde, wife of Gen. Henry Tumukunde, expressed her gratitude for the invitation. She urged women to be obedient, just as Mary was obedient to God’s call. She emphasized the virtues of humility, cooperation, and unity in marriage, reminding them that God lifts those who humble themselves.
Jesper Muwhezi, the Mother’s Union Leader at St. Andrew’s C.O.U Kitazigurukwa, thanked everyone for supporting her leadership and making the event a success. She called upon believers to continue working together with stakeholders to develop the church.
Muwhezi highlighted the importance of unity and mutual support among women, noting that their priority project for the year is the construction of flush toilets for the church.
Rev. Bernard Akankyiiza, the parish priest of St. Andrew’s C.O.U Kitazigurukwa, commended the Mother’s Union leadership for their dedication and teamwork in organizing the event.
He urged women to continue working hard to support their families, educate their children, and contribute to household development alongside their husbands. He also reaffirmed the church’s commitment to improving facilities, with the construction of modern flush toilets as a key goal.
