Ministry & Spiritual Work
Spiritual Journey
Although born into a faithful and traditional Catholic family, I became an atheist during my university years. However, while battling numerous life challenges, I continued searching for answers. This is when I encountered the Catholic Charismatic movement, where I found clarity and truth in the Word of God. Responding to the call of Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" during a Charismatic parish retreat in 2013, I committed my life to serving Christ and His Church.
Lay Charismatic Missionary
With the blessing of the late Bishop Seamus Cunningham and my parish priest Fr. Simon Lerche, I embarked on lay charismatic missionary work in Uganda in 2017. I have been conducting mass retreats for thousands of people, training young Catholic leaders to equip them with tools to resolve life's challenges through the power of God's Word.
My work has been primarily conducted in the Masaka, Kampala, and Moroto dioceses, reaching communities across Uganda with the message of faith, hope, and transformation.
Marriage Counselor
Currently in Newcastle, I am a trained Catholic marriage counselor working with young Catholic couples preparing for marriage. I conduct counseling sessions as part of Marriage Care, a Catholic charity dedicated to supporting and strengthening marriages and family life.
Spiritual Renewal in the Masaka Diocese
In collaboration with His Grace Bishop Severus Jjumba, I have been devoted to fostering spiritual revival within the Masaka Diocese by equipping committed leaders with the wisdom and resilience to guide their communities through the multifaceted spiritual and practical challenges facing contemporary Catholics.
