In late March, when Uganda was forced into a sudden lockdown, Fr. Frank couldn't continue to work as Dean of Studies at St. Joseph Seminary. Since all public Masses were also forbidden, he reached out to CARITAS hoping to do something significant through our Special Feeding Program.

When 24 acres of land were made available to him, and with more time on his hands, Fr. Frank decided to put it to good use by starting a farm!

Thanks to funds raised in our Special Feeding Program, Father was quickly able to purchase seeds, farming tools and supplies. CARITAS was also able to support his creative initiative by paying local laborers and several seminarians to help him work the land.

CARITAS is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for sponsors and supporters of our Mission. Our organization is coordinating a visit to Uganda in 2020! We encourage you to join us anytime between March 15th – April 10^th of this year, while we visit the sites in Uganda where CARITAS operates.

This visit will provide you the chance to share a meal with your sponsored child(ren), go to Mass, explore the surrounding attractions, and observe the local Day School and/or Boarding Schools. Through your support, letters, and pictures, you have built a sacred relationship of love with your child. Visiting them and seeing their everyday life firsthand will only further develop your cross-continental bond.

We noticed this little boy off to the side of the road.

Sister Agnes asked his Grandmother,

"What's the boy's name?"

The Grandmother said,

"I don't Know."

We were shocked...so poor that he didn't even have a name!
