GREAT NEWS OF THE CHURCH
On Friday May 11/24th 2024, being the feast Saints Kyril and Methodios ( teachers of the slavs), Stephen Mukindia Riungu was baptized in the holy orthodox church after having been catechized for a long period of time.
Stephen was raised and educated in the Roman Catholic Church, later professed and made his perpetual vows in the congregation of the Brothers of Christian instruction commonly known as the “La Mennais Brothers” founded in 1889 by Gabriel Deshayes and Jean-Marie dela Mennais.
Stephen brings to us a wealth of teaching experience and academic scholarship from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa ( A.M.E.C.E.A), where he earned his degree of Bachelor of Education in English literature ( 1st class honours). He is a brilliant educationist in the field of English literature who adds yet another majority perspective to our globally existing St. Nektarios Orthodox College and seminary.
Stephen’s deep wisdom and hard work will definitely contribute to the holy orthodox church of Uganda.
On behalf of the clergy, faithful, and monastics, I wish to congratulate Stephen Mukindia Riungu a blessed and joyful stay at the holy orthodox church of Uganda in full union with the mother church in Greece.
With every blessing
+ Archbishop Nektarios

HOLY PASCHA 2024.
By the grace of God, today, 23rd/5 May 2024, according to the Traditional Orthodox Calendar, His Eminence Archbishop Nektarios joined the rest of the world to celebrate the holy Pascha at Kanyogoga Mpongo in Mityana District.
Prio to the holy pascha celebrations, His Eminence emphasized to the newly baptized and chrismated orthodox christians to dedicate their lives to the risen loving Lord Jesus Christ.
Preaching to the hundreds of thousands, Vladyka Nektarios said, let none of us lose our boldness, nor neglect our duties, nor be afraid of the difficulties of spiritual struggle. For we have the risen God today as a helper, who strengthens us in the difficult path of virtue.”.
You did not become an Orthodox Christian to magically become holy overnight. You did not become an Orthodox Christian to quit struggling. We are here as Orthodox Christians who ask Christ to bless our struggle and mold us into His image, as we seek to enter into the victory over sin and death that He has already obtained for us through His death and resurrection!
It is your victory as an adopted child of God. Stretch out the hands of your heart to Christ and embrace all that He offers you. He will never leave you or abandon you because God is love and love never ever fails.
After the divine liturgy, His Eminence Vladyka Nektarios was given gifts by the Christians of St. Kosmas of Aitolia Buwala Bbanda-Busujju led by Mr. Anastasios (pasikaale).
Wishing you all a blessed paschal celebrations in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen.
