Want to know how to raise a child who is morally virtuous, a model citizen in the community, and involved in creating good for our world and their life? Teach them from an early age to serve the needs of those around them. Catholic Schools Week is coming up next week (Jan. 31-Feb. 6, 2016). As the pastor of a Catholic faith community, I certainly see the merits of a Catholic education. In my role at CARITAS For Children, I see Catholic teaching put into practice when schools and religious education classes sponsor a child.

The official announcement of Pope Francis' visit made on the eleventh of September 2015 brought great joy to many Ugandans.

Time flies, the long awaited day approached.
