Thank you to all Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church
staff and parishioners for their support and generous donations.
This day in Kibengo was made possible because of you!
On the Solemnity of the Annunciation, March 25, 2014, the groundbreaking of the second classroom building, at Nativity High School, was entrusted to the care of our Mother Mary. The celebration began with Mass celebrated by Bishop Paul Ssemogerere, followed by the groundbreaking, the passing of 10,000 bricks, speeches, lunch, and entertainment. It was a day of thanksgiving, filled with much gratefulness for the students and community of Kibengo, Uganda.
This second building is very much needed, even this year, as Senior 3s hold their daily classes in the teacher’s lounge of the one multipurpose building the school currently has -- S1s and S2s hold classes in the open section of the building which is supposed to be like Weibel’s I and II, with a removable divider between each room…except that the divider is missing and the students must focus hard to concentrate on their own lessons and not that of the other class. Hopefully soon, through the generous donations of Nativity parishioners, in addition to the second building, the current building can be completed with the dividers. Next year, in 2015, the school will expand to S4s; so there will be four classrooms and 20+ new S1 students to accommodate. The school is growing and thriving, and the excitement is escalating among the community – there is HOPE!
Now close your eyes and picture yourself at Nativity High School in the small village of Kibengo, Uganda. Start the video and imagine yourself side-by-side, actually there with us in celebrating this amazing day -- you really were there with us in our hearts!
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (For the greater glory of God),
