Ugandan mass is celebrated every Second Sunday of each month, 2:00pm at St Chad Catholic Church led by a Ugandan Priest. It’s normally conducted mainly in Luganda and English. This is to encourage our children to understand mass clearly and strengthen the concept of identity in our community. The mass is also streamed live online.

UCCC Bereavement Guide: Summary of Key Tips
Grief affects everyone differently, impacting both physical and mental health. During difficult times, your UCCC family is here to support you with these core principles for healing:
Lean on Faith & Community: Do not suffer in silence. Stay connected by attending UCCC Duyiroactivities, surrounding yourself with loved ones, and seeking spiritual comfort in scripture.
Honor Your Emotions: Expect waves of strong feelings or irritability; these are natural parts of healing. Be gentle with yourself, avoid self-blame, and do not judge how others grieve.
Maintain Structure & Stability: Keep up with your daily routines, plan your days, and stick to your hobbies to combat loneliness. Avoid making major life changes right now, like moving or switching jobs.
Prioritize Health & Peace: Eat well, exercise, and get enough sleep. If grief causes family tensions, seek guidance from elders, priests, or community leaders.
Reach Out for Help: If things do not improve, please reach out to your GP, a therapist, or a UCCC community leader.
Supporting One Another
If you find yourself in a stronger place, try to support others whose grieving process may be longer or more difficult than yours. By lifting each other up, together we shall heal and flourish.
📞 Need to talk?Please reach out to a UCCC committee member or your local Cell Group (Bubondo) leader at any time. We are here for you.
