MERRY CHRISTMAS

My dear Parishioners, brothers and sisters in Christ, Merry Christmas to you all!

As we celebrate this Christmas, my heart is full of Joy and gratitude to God who has enabled us to reach this great day of God’s love to mankind. I thank Him for His Divine guidance and protection throughout this year 2024; and we cannot take it for granted.

As we celebrate the birth of His beloved Son, God incarnate, we are cognizant of the fact that God loves us and His love transcends all cultural, economic and social boundaries. Therefore, as a family of Naggulu we should endeavor to remain united in Faith, Hope and Love, no matter where we come from whatever challenges we face.

Fellow parishioners, this Christmas is celebrated when we are at the peak of constructing our Parish Church, the National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus in Uganda, which will be our physical home of worship where we shall come together at one time as one body of Christ.

This journey is not easy, especially as we face financial hardships and obstacles that come with the effort to build the house of the Lord. However, your sacrifices are not unnoticed, and the offering of your time, voluntary services and money, no matter how small, is a beautiful reflection of your faith and love for your Parish; and above all your God.

The current situation, is challenging, because many of our people are experiencing financial hardships due to lack of employment and unstable businesses. I appeal to you not to lose hope, just as the Holy Family of Nazareth journeyed through difficulties, we too should be strengthened by the grace of God and support of each other.

May the peace and Joy of Christ’s birth, fill your hearts and homes. Together, with faith we will see our dreams fulfilled, and our church will stand as a testament to God’s love and to your resilience as a Parish family.

Wishing you all a blessed and Merry Christmas, filled with God’s Love, Peace, and abundant blessings.
