CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM THE PARISH PRIEST

Dear parishioners of Our Lady and St. Jude Parish Naggulu, friends of the Parish and Devotees of St. Jude, I warmly greet you all and extend my heartfelt Christmas wishes to each one of you. In a special way, I salute all our parishioners, our friends near and far and all the devoted sons and daughters of St. Jude who continue to support and pray with our Parish community.

I congratulate you upon reaching this great and joyful feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the son of God made incarnate. This feast is not merely a remembrance of an event in the past, but a profound celebration of God’s love for humanity. In the birth of Jesus, God entered human history, took on our human nature, and thus began the work of our salvation in a visible and tangible way. Christmas reminds us that God is with us, walks with us and never abandon His people.

As we celebrate this Christmas season, we also do so at a significant moment for our nation. We are preparing for the General Elections scheduled for 15th January 2026. As Ugandans, and above all as Christians, we are reminded that we are one people despite our tribal, ethnic, cultural or political differences. The birth of Christ calls us to unity, peace and mutual respect and love for one another. Let us reject violence hatred and division, and instead promote dialogue, justice and peaceful coexistence.

May the Child Jesus, born in humility and peace, reign in our hearts, families, Parish and nation. May Our Lady and St. Jude continue to intercede for us, guiding us to remain faithful to God and committed to the common good.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with God’s blessings, peace and hope.
