PRIESTHOOD

OUR FOUNDER

A life of service, a legacy of hope.

Rev. Fr. Paul Bigirwa was born in Igayaza, Western Uganda, and serves as a priest of Hoima Catholic Diocese.

Over the years, he has ministered in various parishes, directed schools, coordinated pastoral programs, and served internationally in Italy, Germany, the USA and the UK.

His Silver Jubilee of priesthood on 05 July 2025 became a moment of deep reflection — looking back with gratitude and forward with renewed commitment to serve God's people.

OUR INSPIRATION

Greatness can rise from humble beginnings.

From the slums of Katwe to the football fields of Brazil, the stories of Phiona Mutesi and Pelé remind us that brilliance and talent can emerge from unexpected places when a child is given a chance.
