NAGGULU PARISH PRIEST’S MESSAGE IN PREPARATION FOR THE 69TH PARISH DAY.

Greetings to you all parishioners of Our Lady and St. Jude Parish Naggulu, and to devotees and friends of St. Jude Thaddeus, on this 15^th day of June 2023.  The 15^th of June is memorable to Naggulu.

It was on the 15^th of June 1954, when the Bishop of Kampala, at that time, the Right Reverend Vincent Billington, blessed our church here and dedicated it OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL SUCCOUR (whose feast falls on 27^th June) and ST. JUDE THADDEUS (whose feast falls on 28^th October).

Today, therefore, Naggulu Parish the National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus has in effect made 69 years of age. Happy birthday to you all parishioners, friends of Naggulu and St. Jude Thaddeus devotees. May I also congratulate my brother Priests; Fr. Jude Kyekulidde and Fr. Viatory Muvunyi.

As stated, the feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, falls on 27^th June. It has become a practice here at Naggulu to mark the Parish Day on a Sunday that is close to the 27^th of June. This time around, we will celebrate it on Sunday 25^th June 2023 at 10:00 AM. Mass will be celebrated by Msgr. John Baptist Kauta, Secretary General of the Uganda Episcopal Conference.

In preparation for that anniversary, I wish to request all of us to say the novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, from tomorrow, Friday, 16^th of June up to Saturday 24^th June.

 On top of your personal intentions, I would suggest that:

1. We thank God for the 69 years of this Parish
2. We pray for our Parish leaders, and then
3. Pray for the success of the construction of our new Parish Church, which is also the National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus.

Please pray this novena from wherever you will be. Here, at Naggulu, we shall say it during our regular Masses.

Happy birthday to you all; and may the Lord bless you: THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN

I am Father Joseph Mary Bbuye, Parish Priest and National Director of St.  Jude Thaddeus Devotion.
