I was the youngest of 12 childrenl, I was born in 1970. With our mother (RIP) bedridden for over 25 years, it was very difficult for my siblings to get an education. Many did not go beyond elementary school. The little my father (RIP) could earn was used to take care of our Mom. He did his best and I was able to complete elementary school.
I did my first and second grades at an elementary school near our home. When in 1979 the war against Idi Amin broke out, we spent almost three years in the bush running from the battle carnage. We came back when everything, including our little house on the village, had been destroyed by the soldiers. I resumed school in 1982 and in 1986, I graduated from elementary school. My mother's condition was becoming critical then! My father could not afford to take me to high school.
At the age of 17, with financial assistance from my parish priest Fr. Augustine, I joined St. Joseph High School Seminary, Nyenga, in 1987 and graduated in 1993. In 1994, I joined St. Thomas Aquinas National Major Seminary and graduated with a Bachelor of Philosophy degree in 1997. In the same year God blessed me with a scholarship from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to pursue my theological studies at St. John’s Seminary, Camaillo. In 2001, I graduated with M. Div. and M.A. in Moral theology. I was ordained a priest August 11. 2001 for the Archdiocese of Kampala Uganda. I served two years at Christ the King parish as an associate pastor and as a Youth Chaplain and Father In-charge of Catholic Education. From 2003 to 2009 I was a Lecturer at St. Mbaaga's Major Seminary, Ggaba, where I taught Pastoral Theology, Spiritual Theology, Homiletics, Introduction to Philosophy and Ancient Philosophy. Currently I am a National Director of Radio Maria Uganda, The one and only Catholic radio station in the nation.
