In a heartwarming act of generosity and faith, Hon. Florence Nambozo Mayoga, the State Minister for Karamoja Affairs and Woman Member of Parliament for Sironko District, visited Bugunzu Catholic Parish and fulfilled her pledge of 5 million shillings. The funds will go towards the construction of a new residence for the parish priest a much-needed project that will support the church’s ongoing work in the community.
Minister Nambozo joined the parishioners for a Sunday worship service, where she prayed and shared in their celebration of faith. Her visit was not only spiritual but also practical, as she delivered the promised contribution in person. Her donation shows her strong commitment to her people and her willingness to invest in the growth of both faith and community structures.
By supporting the construction of the priest’s house, Hon. Nambozo is helping to strengthen the foundation of the church. The parish priest plays a central role in guiding and serving the spiritual needs of the people, and having a proper place to live will help him focus better on his mission. This kind of support goes beyond money — it is a symbol of unity, leadership, and love for the church and the people.
Quoting Saint John Paul II, “The parish is a privileged place to announce the Word of God,” Minister Nambozo reminded the community of the importance of the church in shaping strong values. Her actions are a true example of faith in action. She continues to live by the words of Matthew 5:16: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Over the years, Hon. Nambozo has been known for her dedication to education, women’s empowerment, and community development in the Elgon region. Her visit to Bugunzu Catholic Parish is just one of many examples of how she leads with compassion, humility, and purpose. Her leadership continues to inspire many, especially the youth, to live with faith, serve with heart, and give back to their communities.
Minister Nambozo’s generous gift will not only support the construction project but will also uplift the spiritual life of Bugunzu Parish. Her light continues to shine brightly in the lives of many, and her example reminds all of us that when leaders walk in faith and serve with love, communities grow stronger together.
