With many Ugandans going through hard times due to the current challenging economic situation and other issues, Christians in the Mbarara Archdiocese have been encouraged to increase acts of love and service to fellow humans to help uplift them in all ways.
Lambert Bainomugisha, the Archbishop of Mbarara Archdiocese, says it is important for believers to contribute toward the betterment of those around them.
He noted that good deeds that support mankind amplify Jesus Christ’s ministry of serving selflessly, adding that it was crucial for believers to make the world better for everyone.
Bainomugisha was presiding over the thanksgiving service to crown the Archdiocese of Mbarara Development Association’s (AMDA) annual three-day caravan 2023 at Ibanda Catholic Parish, Ibanda district over the weekend.
During the outreach now in its ninth year, AMDA members sensitised community members on self-reliance, education, and entrepreneurship in Ibanda and Kihani parishes.
They also provided legal advice on wills and family property issues; provided free Medicare and medicines to 9,334 people with different ailments and held sessions for marrieds and leaders.
AMDA also donated an assortment of drugs to Ruhoko Health Centre IV, Uganda Martyrs Hospital Kagongo and St John Fisher Ibanda SS.
It gave out 10 wheelchairs, clutches, 670 textbooks for the new curriculum, clothes, and 100 bags of cement towards the construction of the new priests’ house at Ibanda Catholic Parish.
