St.Marys College Rushoroza Reunion: A Pentecostal Pilgrimage to Remember! by Davis Owomugisha


Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round and prepare yourselves for a celestial spectacle of epic proportions! The stars are aligning, the heavens are humming, and the spirit of camaraderie is about to hit an all-time high as the esteemed old students of St. Mary's College Rushoroza converge at the Uganda Martyrs shrine Namugongo Pavilion A on Sunday, May 19th, 2024.

Picture this: a congregation of old scholars, bound together by memories of mischief and mayhem, now adorned in their Sunday best, ready to honor the Uganda Martyrs in a way only Rushoroza alumni can. And guess what? This ain't your average Sunday service – oh no! We're talking about a holy extravaganza infused with the unique charm and wit that only Rushoroza grads can bring to the table.
Leading the charge is none other than the irrepressible Fr. Ignatius Arinaitwe, a proud product of St. Mary's College Rushoroza and our very own resident jokester-turned-main celebrant. Brace yourselves for a sermon peppered with anecdotes from his glory days, guaranteed to have you chuckling in the pews.

But wait, there's more! Joining Fr. Ignatius at the altar is the one and only Fr. Narisensio Bagumisiriza, former vicar general of Kabale Diocese, who's not only here to assist but also to launch his latest masterpiece – a book that promises to be juicier than the most scandalous of Rushoroza rumors.

And let's not forget, folks, it's Pentecost Sunday! That means we're turning up the volume on the hymns, the chants, and the overall liturgical shenanigans. Old students, prepare to unleash your vocal prowess and participate in a sing-along of biblical proportions. Trust us, you haven't truly experienced "Come, Holy Spirit" until you've belted it out with the Rushoroza crew.

So, what are you waiting for? Dust off your old school tie, grab your rosary beads, and join us for a day of laughter, fellowship, and maybe even a sprinkle of divine intervention. Whether you're a seasoned Rushoroza veteran or just curious to witness the magic firsthand, this is an event you won't want to miss. See you there, and may the spirit of Rushoroza be with you!

 Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Apollo Nyegamehe (Aponye) Today marks one year since we lost a remarkable man, Apollo Nyegamehe, fondly known as Aponye. It is often said that it is good to appreciate the good things people do while they are still alive. Aponye was a man who exemplified this belief, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire and uplift us all. Aponye was not just a man of wealth and business empires; he was a down-to-earth individual who mingled effortlessly with people from all walks of life. Despite his immense success, he remained humble and approachable, especially to the young people. His ability to connect with us and offer wise counsel on managing challenges and uprooting unemployment through business creation was truly remarkable. In loving memory of Aponye, we, his family and the larger community, gather to celebrate his life both physically and in spirit. His presence continues to dwell among us, a testament to the love, care, kindness, gen...

Protecting Wetlands and Communities: A Balanced Approach for Kigezi,By Davis Owomugisha Kanzikwera. Recently, the president directed the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) to remove all individuals encroaching on wetlands. This directive aims to protect Uganda's valuable wetland ecosystems from further degradation. However, for the people of Kigezi, who heavily depend on these wetlands for their livelihood, this presents a complex challenge. Understanding the crucial role wetlands play in their lives is essential to crafting a solution that balances environmental conservation with community needs.

These areas provide fertile soil, rich in nutrients, which supports the cultivation of various crops such as rice, yams, and vegetables. For many families, farming in wetlands is not a choice but a necessity, as the land's fertility ensures food security and a stable income. Additio...

The Need for Government Oversight in Beauty Pageants and Their Impact on the Girl Child By Davis Owomugisha, Creative writer, Kampala Uganda. In recent years, beauty pageants like Miss Uganda and Miss Tourism have garnered significant attention and participation. These events promise to uplift and empower the girl child, providing a platform for young women to showcase their talents and potentially open doors to future opportunities. However, beneath the glamour and excitement, there lies a troubling reality that needs urgent attention from the government and regulatory bodies. One of the primary concerns surrounding beauty pageants in Uganda is the financial burden placed on contestants. Many young women invest substantial amounts of money to participate, often with little to no return on their investment. From registration fees to preparation costs, the expenses can be overwhelming. Contestants frequently pay for outfits, makeup, training, and travel, all in the hope of w...
