I






I MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT MY EFFORT YIELDED TO THE FUNDRAISING OF THE RECONSTRUCTION OF MAKERERE UNIVERSITY MAIN BUILDING.

But I thank God for that calling.

I have worked on a Fundraising for reconstruction of Makerere University Main Building. The appeal as below was circulated mostly to outside contacts:

SUPPORT THE RECONSTRUCTION OF MAKERERE UNIVERSITY MAIN BUILDING (IVORY TOWER)

The challenge at hand is reconstructing this Iconic building.

Information about Makerere University and the Main Building can be accessed on the web address below:

St.MARY COLLEGE KISUBI HAS ENJOYED GOOD RELATIONS WITH KISUBI PARISH AS THEY CELEBRATE 125 YEARS

AS KISUBI PARISH CELEBRATES 125 YEARS, St. MARY’S COLLEGE, KISUBI (SMACK) IS PROUD OF HAVING BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH IT FOR 97 YEARS.

Editor: William Kituuka Kiwanuka

SMACK OB (1974 - 1979)

Lourdel House 





















Since 1924 when St. Mary’s College relocated to Kisubi from Lubaga, the School and its community have enjoyed cordial, brotherly relation, and the Parish has through the years been given its due respect equivalent to that of a parent in the sense that whenever the school needed land for expanding, the Parish readily acknowledged the need and acted positively and, at the same time the Parish Church has played the role of Spiritual guidance and more so, identified members of SMACK staff who have played big roles in areas like the creation of new Sub - parishes, joining the Church Choir, and other missions where they were called to serve through the 97 years during which SMACK has been at Kisubi.

The whole hill of Kisubi was given to the missionaries by Kabaka Muteesa I in 1880. This gift was later confirmed by Muteesa’s successor Kabaka Mwanga II.

To get to appreciate the 125 years of Kisubi Parish (Our Lady Queen of Virgins), it is important to know the milestones through which the Parish has gone to date. The Parish was founded in 1896. The construction work of the present Parish Church started in 1911 and it was completed in 1913. This Church besides being built as a Parish Church was also built as a ‘pilotchurch’ for the future Lubaga Cathedral.

Since the foundation of Kisubi Parish, many other Church institutions have been established on the hill. These institutions include: Religious houses, schools, Health care centres, centres for socializing to mention some. The variety of institutions point to the integral nature of the Church’s Evangelizing Mission. The mission is not only limited to the soul, but also the body and mind.

We acknowledge the roles Kisubi Parish has played in the 125 years of its existence - the Parish’s milestones.

In the Magazine of Kisubi Parish’s Centenary (Musizi) in 1996, the Very Reverend Father Lazaro Bustince, who was the Regional Superior - Missionaries of Africa wrote, “I have a lot of pleasure and gratitude for Kisubi Parishioners and all who went through the institutions on Kisubi Hill on the occasion of Kisubi Parish’s centenary - that is, since the light of Christ got to shine in Kisubi. I have a lot of gratitude for you on behalf of the White Fathers (Missionaries of Africa). Praise be to God by saying “Deo gratias”.

Kisubi Parish area of jurisdiction has a number of historically important events for which all need to be proud of”.

I am quite sure that the Very Reverend Father Lazaro Bustince’s words make a lot of sense today as Kisubi Parish celebrates 125 years, and I am convinced that the same message can serve for the White Fathers as we celebrate the 125 years.

Some milestones:

Msgr. Guillermain relocated the first Seminary in Uganda from Lubaga to Kisubi on 26th December 1895, and he handed it over to Pere Marcou as head.

In 1910 Msgr Streicher sent Brother Martin and Pere Gacon to start works on making bricks and tiles, the first of the kind in Uganda from which the bricks and tiles for the construction of Kisubi Parish Church were made, and thereafter, for the construction of Lubaga Cathedral.

In 1911 the first Technical School in Uganda was started - Kisubi Technical School. There were 11 pioneer students. It was headed by Brother (Frera) Cypriano who was skilled in drawing building plans and the art of building. He built Lubaga Cathedral.

Frère Herman came with one Sewing machine, the first one in Uganda. He came with it on the head from Bagamoyo in Tanzania. That helped the expansion of Kisubi Technical as teaching in sewing and shoe making was enhanced.

From then on, Catholic based institutions started having activities on Kisubi Hill.

White Sisters - Missionaries of Our Lady of Africa started a health facility in 1904, the current Kisubi Hospital. The Sisters of Ggogonya are the administrators.

St. Mary’s College, Kisubi was transferred from Lubaga in 1924 and in 1926 handed by the White Fathers to the Brothers of Christian Instruction as teachers and administrators.

In 1955, Sisters of St. Peter Claver were given the mandate to manage Marianum Press.

Bannakaroli Brothers of Kiteredde and those of Amans Auxilliary Brothers have all played a big role in evangelism from Kisubi.

Other Catholic founded institutions that have been established on Kisubi Hill include:

St. Savio Junior School in 1955; St. Ssebuggwawo Primary School in 1927; St. Teresa Girls’ School by the White Sisters in 1926; Michelangelo School of Creative Artists in 1993; Kisubi Domestic Science Training School in 1981; Kisubi Brothers came to Uganda under the Brothers of Christian Instruction. They came from Canada in 1926 to relieve the White Fathers who were teaching in St. Mary’s College, Kisubi so that the Fathers would then concentrate on pastoral work. The other institutions include the Sisters of Mary Reparatrix. This category of Sisters was started by Late Archbishop Louis Joseph Cabana in 1948. The Late Archbishop was buried at Ggogonya; Kisubi Mapeera was started in 1999 at Kawuku as a private school. Afterwards, it relocated to the current position opposite St. Joseph Technical Institute; the University of Kisubi was started in 2004 by the Brothers of Christian Instruction. It is at Mt. St. Teresa.

It is important to remember that on April 13, 2012 Kabaka Muwenda Muteb II visited Kisubi Hill and was hosted at St. Mary’s College, Kisubi for his 57th Birthday.

In 1981, all the Catholic Church institutions on Kisubi Hill were affected by the aftermath of Late Andrew Kayiira’s invasion on Malire (Lubiri) Army barracks. Uganda Government security got intelligence information that the casualties had been ferried along Lake Victoria to Kisubi Hospital. And, according to that intelligence, it was alleged that the wounded men had received treatment at Late Brother Cosmas Kafeero’s Kisubi Hospital. By then Brother Kafeero was the Headmaster at SMACK.

Brother Kafeero was at the same time accused of publishing Munno and Musizi where articles criticizing the Government were run. A letter dated January 7, 1982 was dropped in the compound of Kisubi Parish Church. The letter summoned Brother Kafeero to a meeting at Abaita Ababiri. A week after the meeting, another letter was dropped at Kisubi Parish Church. The letter this time instructed Brother Kafeero to summon all people on Kisubi Hill to be addressed. The instructions to attend included: St. Mary’s College, Kisubi; Savio School; Kisubi Hospital; Kisubi Parish; Mt. St. Teresa; Kisubi Boys. The others included: St. Joseph’s Technical Institute, Kisubi Seminary and Ggogonya Convent. All the parties as invited assembled at St. Mary’s College Main Football ground.

There had been a Police Post which was initially located at Mt. St. Teresa, then in front of the Main Football pitch at SMACK. It so happened that insecurity increased when General Edward Wamala was the Inspector General of Police. A letter was written to the General to put up a Police Force to better manage the security. SMACK extended the piece of land where the Police Station is located for Kisubi area.

Ever since St. Mary's College was transferred from Lubaga to Kisubi in 1924, the College has had good relations with the Parish in particular as regards participating in activities and functions proposed by the Parish. On the Corpus Christi Sunday festivities to mark the solemnity of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the students would come with the School Band with trumpets and other musical instruments which they would play at the Consecration part of the Mass and eventually the same Band would lead the Holy procession which generally took place after Mass. The Cadets forming this Band were usually led by the Late Francis Pulle, then a student at St. Mary's, who used to be the Drum Major or leader of the Marching Band.

Due to the good co-operation, several important ceremonies and functions programmed at the Parish took place at SMACK. In the past, Priestly Ordinations would take place in the Ordinands' Home Parish. However, in 1952 the Parish organized the Ordination Ceremony of Rev. Fr. Matia Mukasa (RIP) at St. Mary's College Kisubi.

Reflecting on SMACK - Kisubi Parish relations over the years, it is important to reflect on the events of November, 14 1964 when 12 lads perished following an accident along Entebbe Highway. The students were from Wankulukuku where SMACK had scored 2 - 1 goal by St. Henry’s College, Kitovu. Reverend Brother Paul Bourget was the Headmaster when the accident happened. “Thy will be done”, was the sigh Rev. Brother Paul heaved at 7.30pm on the fateful night of November 14, 1964, when he received the sad and sudden news of a disaster 12 miles on Entebbe Highway. The death touched all the institutions that were on Kisubi Hill at the time.

With a sorrowful heart, as he set about his arduous duties under the most trying circumstances, he had to create order and calmness from utter chaos and confusion that followed the accident, make the program to deliver the bodies to the parents, and arrangements for the Requiem Mass for the repose of the souls of the deceased boys.

Kisubi Parish Church readily organized for a Solemn Requiem Mass for the repose of the souls of the boys who had died. This was on the evening of Monday, November 16, 1964. It is important to note that the bodies were not brought to the Church, most had been taken for burial on Sunday, November 15. The Mass was overcrowded given the Government Officials, Church representatives, representatives from Mulago and Entebbe Medical staff, staff members and students from various educational institutions, who turned up for the Requiem Mass. Late Reverend Father Emmanuel Kibirige later (Msgr) was the Main Celebrant. Dr. Luyimbazi Zaake, then Minister of Education represented the Government. And in all, not less than 2,000 people attended. That time, the student population at SMACK was 451.

The area St. Mary’s College, Kisubi occupies has greatly increased in acreage over the years. Credit goes to the brotherhood of the two institutions. In the 1930’s, the Parish re - located Mulisi Nswemu RIP who was staying around where the Physics Laboratory, Swimming Pool and Food Science Laboratory are. Nswemu who was by then a Primary School Teacher was re - located to below the Dormitory area. He eventually took up farming for a number of years until he died.

From 1926 to 1950, SMACK had only Brothers of Christian Instruction as teachers. In 1951, J. C. Kiwanuka was posted to the school as a Lay graduate teacher.   He was given simple accommodation which eventually proved unfit for him. In 1952, J. C. met Brother Loius Chounard who was the Headmaster and he requested for a more befitting accommodation. The Headmaster reached out to the Ministry of Education for financial assistance to be able to put up accommodation for lay teachers. The Parish allocated land near Mile 15, and three tiled bungalows were built and J. C. Kiwanuka was the first beneficiary. The Late Kyotogule who was staying in that area was re - located to Ziika across Entebbe Highway opposite the three newly built houses.

In 1953, White Sisters who were the proprietors of St. John’s Junior School wanted to phase it out. The Old Boys of St. Mary’s College, Kisubi led by J. C. Kiwanuka who was the President of their Association reached out to Archbishop Louis Joseph Cabana at Lubaga, they discussed the matter of starting a Junior school at Kisubi. Archbishop Cabana was positive and that paved way for Savio School. In 1955, Savio School became a reality. Antonio Kyazze who was staying where Savio School is located was re - located opposite Savio School across Entebbe Highway.

During the earlier days of SMACK, the School Chaplains were being accommodated at Kisubi Parish Church. Rev. Father Matia Mukasa and Rev. Father Fleskens fall in that category.

For a good number of years, St. Mary's College, Kisubi had been deprived of a Sports grounds to host football matches and various Sporting competitions. In 1951 the real sports ground was ceded to the construction of the College's Main Administrative building.  It was in 1956, SMACK’s Golden Jubilee year when the construction of the current Main Sports grounds was done. Otherwise, SMACK used to hold its Sports activities in the St. Dionizio Ssebugwawo Primary School Sports ground.

When the Founder Headmaster of St. Mary's College Kisubi, Rev. Fr. Modest Raux, a one time Parish Priest of Kisubi Parish (in 1934), died in 1965, the Requiem Mass was held at Kisubi Parish Church and burial at Kisubi Parish Church Cemetery.

When Pope Paul VI visited Uganda in 1969 SMACK teamed up with Kisubi Parish to construct a magnificent Triumphal Arch at Savio and especially jointly contributed to the very fine paintings that adorned the arch.

St. Mary’s College Kisubi (SMACK) and Kisubi Catholic Parish have, over the years enjoyed a cordial relationship, there were instances, most especially on one selected Sunday in a year, the College Choir (Cherubim) would animate Mass at the Parish Church in what would be termed “The Visit to the Parish.” A group of students would be selected from each class to represent the College at the Parish Church.

Within the framework of the co-operation, several staff members and employees of St. Mary's College Kisubi that is: J. C. Kiwanuka (RIP), Teacher Katende (RIP),  Former Librarian Kibuuka William and Laboratory Technician John Semwezi participated in various leadership positions at the Parish:

J. C. Kiwanuka was treasurer at Kisubi Parish for more than 25 years, and he was one of the founders of Kawuku Sub - Parish station;

Teacher Katende was Chairman of the Laity at Kisubi Parish;

Mr. William Kibuuka was for sometime was Secretary of Kisubi Parish;

Mr. John Semwezi was at one time Chairman of the Laity at Zziru Sub - Parish.

St. Mary’s College, Kisubi is sincerely thankful to God for the 125 years of Kisubi Parish. Glory be to God.

HON. PAUL KAWANGA SSEMOGERERE AS KISUBI PARISH CELEBRATES 125 YEARS.

 OUR LADY QUEEN OF VIRGINS, KISUBI PARISH (1896  - 2021).


Quasquicentennial Jubilee


By Hon. Paul Kawanga Ssemwogerere (OB SMACK)


May the Lord be praised!




Reflections on the long and eventful history of Kisubi Catholic Parish, formerly Kisubi Catholic Mission, gratefully bring back happy memories of   the extensive contribution to the development of our country and beyond, by the dedicated Catholic clergy and religious men and women, through evangelization, notably in the fields of education and health care. We must especially note that this evangelization was undertaken at considerable personal sacrifice and risk.

I thank the Lord that together with many members of my own family we have been among the lucky beneficiaries from this evangelization; and, most significantly, that one of us, the Most Reverend Paul Ssemogerere, was recently appointed to the high ecumenical office of Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese.

Our happy family relationship with Kisubi Parish may best be traced back ninety years ago (1933) when I was still a suckling baby, when my father, Yozefu Bagenda Kapere, fell gravely ill. When he was treated at Bumangi Catholic Mission hospital, it was realized that his case was quite serious and it required more advanced facilities that were not available anywhere in Ssese Islands. In their kindness, the Mission clergy in charge  decided to  organize lake transport for him and transfer him  to Kisubi Mission hospital  on the mainland, under the expert care of the “White Sisters”, which had better facilities and superior medical staff. After some treatment at Kisubi, it became evident that our father’s illness was a terminal case; and it was decided to bring him back to Bumangi in Ssese where he later passed on and was buried in the Catholic Mission cemetery on Holy Thursday in 1933. 

In the meantime, however, a strong and fruitful relationship had developafted between the Kisubi Catholic Missionaries, in particular the “White Sisters”, and  our family, headed then by our mother, Maria Lwiza Namwendero, whereby out of the family’s six children four of us came to Kisubi for our education and were treated as adopted children. 

The second born in the family, Alipio Kamwaanyi Luvulle, the biological father of Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere, was admitted to Kisubi St. Joseph’s Technical School where he was trained in shoe making; and the eldest, Firipo Ssemakula was enrolled in Kisubi Mission Hospital, first a dresser, and later as a para-medical. The two youngest children in the family, my sister and I, were admitted, respectively, to St. Thereza Girls Primary School and, in my case, to St. John’s Junior Boys Boarding School (1940). After obtaining the Elementary Vernacular School Certificate (Primary 4), I joined St. Henry’s Secondary School, Kitovu, in Primary Five; then returned to Kisubi for Full Primary Leaving School Certificate (Primary 6) and, thereafter, got admission into St. Mary’s College Kisubi (1947 – 52), where, among other things, I was the first-ever directly elected Head-Prefect; and from where I gained admission to Makerere, the then University College of East Africa (1953).

I regard Kisubi as the principal source of my formation; thanks, in particular to the many teachers, mostly Catholic Missionary teachers who attended to me.

Developments of Kisubi: Its Evolution, Institutional Growth and Institutional Collaboration.

Over the many years since my first school days at Kisubi in 1940, I have been a happy witness to a wide range of developments of Kisubi, to wit:  

• First, Kisubi’s evolution from a simple missionary establishment with catechumenal centres (Bisomesa) to a relatively full-fledged self-sustaining Catholic Parish first with subordinate sub-Parishes, some of which also evolved into fully developed Parishes, notably: Mpala, Kabula-Muliro and Nakawuka; and

• Second, Kisubi’s institutional growth, whereby, new institutions are established at Kisubi e.g.,

- Kisubi Seminary,

- The Congregation of the Sisters of Immaculate Heart of Mary Repatrix, Gogonya,

- The society of The Brothers of St. Amans, and

- The University of Kisubi (UNIK).


Of particular significance is the fact that diversity notwithstanding, there is a remarkable degree of institutional collaboration at Kisubi, embracing institutions at the centre and reaching out to their subordinates at the periphery.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE WHAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE GOT ME THROUGH SINCE MY FUNDRAISING 2014 - 2015.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE BENEFICERIES OF MY SWEAT?

At times, God decides to punish you simply because it is worth for you.

From October 2014 through the whole of 2015, I fundraised from outside Uganda to be able to get resources to finance my ambition to contest for the Presidency of Uganda.

Because of your contact, influence and or office, you decided to be one of the beneficiaries of funds I raised!

Meanwhile, individuals and organizations responded positively to my fundrsising efforts and some individuals in Uganda decided to counter my email communication, hence instead benefitted from the funding!

Surely, why shouldn’t God give you a heavy enough punishment that befits your actions?

In Uganda, I have sympathy for those who imagine that they can treat some of us as rubbish.

We have the Living God behind our deeds and surely, it is not worth tempting God.

May be when He punished you, other people will learn respecting what does not belong to them.

AN APPEAL


Friday, 13 March 2015

KIWANUKA KITUUKA'S APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT OF UGANDA 2016






Dear Good Samaritans,

I am convinced that, “It always seems impossible until it is done.”  This is the drive I have as I target the Chair of President of Uganda in the 2016 elections.  My appeal goes to Ugandans and all of good will from the international community (Good Samaritans) who wish Uganda and its people well and eye to do prosperous business in or with Uganda in a sustainable way.

The budget I have to successfully run my campaign strategy for President of Uganda is USD 24,000,000.  I need to realize 60% of the budget sum within March – August 2015 inclusive, and the balance of 40% to support activities from September 2015 to May 2016.

Whoever supports this appeal will benefit in that if I am voted President of Uganda, the country will get to evolve into an International Business Hub in that:
  1. It will make strides to become a leading tourist destination in the world;
  2. It will become an enhanced investment destination after harmonization of utility costs to suit competitive business undertakings, not forgetting the availability of skilled, semi – skilled, unskilled labour, the availability of the land resource to mention a few.
  3. The country will attract innovations and scientific skills;
  4. It will evolve into an Education Hub that will welcome all knowledge seekers and givers;
  5. It will become a growing real and potential market for goods and services;
  6. Increased production levels, productivity and variety will boost the export market and hence benefit investors that will be involved;
  7. Enterprises in financial services will make a big kill as the country has about 62% of the population unserved by any kind of financial institution.  Uganda suffers from a low saving rate, low levels of lending, all of which will be taped into by potential investors who will take advantage of the incentives created.
  8. Good climatic conditions as well as a politically stable environment anticipated due to consensus which will rule in decision making, all within a liberalized economic set up awaits all to take advantage of.  
The appeal being made to you to support Kiwanuka Kituuka’s bid for the Presidency of Uganda in 2016 requires substantial amount of money, but a necessary strategy given Uganda’s situation and the level of impoverishment of the people which can be reversed.

Contesting for Presidency is expensive.  There are not less than 21,000 Polling Stations countrywide, and at each station a candidate needs  2 representatives, if each is given shs 50,000 to cover his expenses for that day, this comes to shs 2.1bn. Assuming 50 posters to be placed in each  village; there are 37,000 villages in Uganda, not less than shs 3.7bn is needed on this item, hence, when I get my budget (including my new strategy to see President Museveni to retirement), USD 24,000,000 is what is needed.

Kiwanuka Kituuka promises to turn around Uganda if voted President in 2016.  His success however will greatly depend on the support given financially from local and foreign sources.

Funds may be sent to Kiwanuka Kituuka’s Account in Uganda.

Alternatively, funds can be channeled through any Foreign Embassy or High Commission that is represented in Uganda or a reputable organization.  However, when such funding is sent, it is utmost important to find out whether I received it, if not, then a follow up should be made to recover the same.



I will greatly appreciate any efforts to get this information to any party that you may imagine may be capable of helping the struggle to bring sanity in Uganda politics.  I don’t mind even if one does it at a commission on funds raised.




Thank you.

PROJECTED ACTIVITY SCHEDULE PLANNING AS KIWANUKA KITUUKA PREPARES TO CONTEST IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL RACE

The Objective:

To strategically participate in the forthcoming Presidential race in Uganda in 2016 and induce the long awaited positive change in the country’s top leadership by reaching out to the masses more so the deprived, explain to them the situation and what has caused it, and outline to them the measures through which we can jointly as change agents take to cause the change that will see Uganda get started on the road to the Promised Land as was foreseen by Winston Churchill. 

Churchill is one of the big personalities in Uganda’s past, and these were the prophetic words he pronounced over 100 years ago:  “The kingdom of Uganda is a fairy-tale. You climb up … and at the end there is a wonderful new world. The scenery is different, the vegetation is different, the climate is different, and, most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa ... I say: ‘Concentrate on Uganda’. For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life - bird, insect, reptile, beast - for vast scale -- Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa.”

Unfortunately, bad politics is ruining this scenery, and that is what we want to re-invent.
