St. Jude Devotion

Overview

The St. Jude Devotion was introduced to St. Charles Lwanga Ntinda Parish in 2023, following a parishioner’s initiative and the support of Father Muwanga. Prior to this, devotees had to travel to Naguru for fellowship. The devotion was established to create a spiritual home for parishioners seeking St. Jude’s intercession, particularly in times of difficulty.
