Centenary Church of Uganda Kanyantorogo gets a new Parish Priest.
By Patson Baraire Mushaija
Christians have been urged to seek God’s guidance through knowledge, wisdom and understanding in whatever they do and in all aspects of their lives.
The call was made by Kanyantorogo Archdeacon The Venerable Canon Wilson Twinomuhwezi, while presiding over the installation of Rev Bob Mbabazi Ntegyerize and his wife Jacinta as Parish Priest of Centenary Church of Uganda in Kanyantorogo Town Council.
While delivering his sermon, Canon Twinomuhwezi, emphasized the importance of humility, unity and love among believers and urged Christians to respect one another, avoid looking down on others, and support each other in their faith and also called on the newly installed priest to lead with dedication, guiding the congregation as a faithful shepherd and helping build strong Christian values within the church.
The Head of Laity in Kinkizi Diocese, Canon Ben Kuringamba, urged Reverend Mbabazi Ntegyereize to serve diligently, noting that leadership in the church goes beyond holding a position.
The well-attended ceremony attracted a large number of Christians, clergy, civil servants, and education leaders, including head teachers from primary and secondary schools, who gathered to witness the installation.
Speaking to reporters shortly after the service, Rev Mbabazi Ntegyereize expressed gratitude to God and the church leadership for entrusting him with the responsibility.
A cross section of Christians said that Rev Mbabazi’s installation marks a new phase for Centenary Church, with believers expressing optimism about the future of the parish under his leadership.
The newly elected Kanyantorogo Town Council Chairperson Kenneth Tumuhamye hailed the church role in transforming communities and said that it would be difficult for government leaders to lead the people if the Church was not involved.
