The Bible Society of Uganda (BSU) led by there General Secretary/CEO. Mr. Simon Peter Mukhama on Friday 29th October 2021 at Prime Hotel, held a meeting with some of our clergy of The Archdiocese of Tororo plus other denominations serving within Tororo district with an aim at strategizing on how to make the Bible more available, accessible and affordable to the Christians .

In a bid to avail the Bible in Every Home, Hand, Heart, Hotel and Hospital, BSU together with the clergy reached out to 50 elderly persons that gathered at Sacred Heart Parish, the neighbouring St Peter's Cathedral and Deliverance Church Tororo so as to help them have a Bible in their hands and engage with the Word of God on their own.

This is hoped to enhance the already existing relationship between the church and BSU as well as to increase Bible ownership amongst the Christians.

Below are some of the pictures we captured while at Sacred Heart Catholic Parish as some of our Priests are handing over bibles to some elderly Christians.

Pope John Paul II once said:
"In the hidden recesses of the human heart, the grace of a vocation takes the form of a dialogue. It is a dialogue between Jesus Christ and an individual, in which a personal invitation is given. Christ calls the person by name and says: “Come, follow me.”

Please keep our Seminarians of the Catholic Archdiocese of Tororo in your prayers as they continue to discern the vocation of the Priesthood amidst the noise of the modern times.
