Staff members of Kasana–Luweero Diocese have been urged to strengthen teamwork, uphold professionalism and foster a spirit of unity in the execution of their respective duties for the effective advancement of the Church’s pastoral mission.

The call was made on Thursday, November 12, 2026, during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Kasana–Luweero Diocesan Staff Association (KALUDISA), held at the conference hall of the Pope John Paul II Pastoral Centre (PJPIIPC).

During the meeting, heads of departments and representatives made presentations highlighting their respective areas of service throughout 2026.

The presentations provided an opportunity for departments to account for their planned activities, achievements, outstanding assignments and challenges encountered in the course of the year.

They also outlined proposed strategies and recommendations aimed at improving service delivery and ensuring that the targets set for 2027 are fully realized.

Addressing the gathering, the Diocesan Chancellor, Rev. Fr. Dr. Emmanuel Ssekyanzi Lyevuze, emphasized the importance of professionalism in the discharge of the staff’s responsibilities.

He urged every staff member to demonstrate competence, commitment, integrity and a strong sense of responsibility, noting that professionalism should be reflected in all aspects of their work and interactions.

In his closing remarks, Msgr. Vincent De Paul Mukiibi, the Vicar General of Kasana–Luweero Diocese, who represented the Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Lawrence Mukasa, called upon all diocesan staff to embrace teamwork, unity and mutual support in carrying out their respective responsibilities.

Msgr. Mukiibi reminded the staff that their different offices and departments should not be viewed as isolated entities but as integral parts of one ecclesial family working towards a common mission.

He particularly underscored the need for a shared sense of belonging, declaring: “We are a family.”

He encouraged staff members to cultivate fraternal relationships, support one another and work collaboratively for the growth and effective administration of the Diocese.

The Vicar General also called upon the staff to actively participate in the Diocese’s planned pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2027, describing it as an important spiritual opportunity to deepen their faith and strengthen their relationship with God.

Additionally, he encouraged staff members to embrace coffee farming, highlighting its potential to provide an additional source of income and improve their economic well-being.
