We were blessed to receive a grant from the Pulte Family Foundation recently. Here is what some of that money went towards - furniture, beds, and screens for an infirmary along with medication.

God is good!

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of Ireneus Ndyabawe, the father of Fr. Julius, on May 13. He is survived by his wife Matrida, ten children, 35 grandchildren, and 15 great grandchildren.

We pray for the repose of his soul as well as for his family in this time of grief.

If you wish to send personal condolences to Fr. Julius, please send him an email at [email protected].

Happy Friday! With tomorrow being the feast day of St. John of Avila, a man who sold all of his possessions to help the poor, we thought having more pictures of our wonderful students would be a great way to celebrate this holy and giving man!

Here are our P2 and P3 students - looking joyous and learning so much! Can you imagine teaching that many kids in one room?

It’s Monday and here are 2 of the adorable 4 year old classes. They are called Bright, Sharp, and the newly added third class is called Brilliant (the names don’t have anything to do with ability). Aren’t they adorable?

Happy Palm Sunday! As we enter Holy Week, we are blessed to have these amazing images from Uganda.

Here we have the 3 year olds, also called the “Baby Class”. Fr. Julius says they struggle at first, but it doesn’t take long before they settle in and begin to enjoy their time.
