I arrived in Uganda, the pearl of Africa. Indeed, it is a pearl of Africa and you can see, feel and experience it. My journey from Rome to Uganda was pleasant and good one. The Superior Regular along with two friars received me at the airport of Entembe. We drove to the custody house about 40 minutes. Everything has impressed me a lot. The place and the culture is superb and awesome. The friars are very active and enthusiastic. The silver jubilee celebration is in full swing. The student friars in formation are all assembled here to prepare for the great and big event. The house is having a new look with new paint n stuff. The friars and guests are already started arriving. The Provincial of Karnataka, Tanzania are already here.
I have been enjoying the scenic beauty of Uganda. The Victoria lake is a big attraction. I had only heard and read about one of the biggest lakes in the world which is shared by three east African countries. It is a beautiful lake.
The celebration will begin tomorrow with multiple celebrations all combined together, they have simple, final, diaconate, Ordination to priesthood and silver jubilee celebrations. Let us pray that all go on well. Let us thank the Lord for the blessings and graces received by the custody over the period of 25 years. Congratulations!
Br. Giorgio, an Italian Friar, Missionary
