St. Paul's Seminary Celebrates 75 Years of Priestly Formation

St. Paul's Kinyamasika National Major Seminary celebrated its 75th anniversary with great joy and thanksgiving to Almighty God. The Diamond Jubilee celebration was marked by a solemn High Mass presided over by His Grace Paul Ssemogerere, Archbishop of Kampala.

Since its establishment in 1949 by the Mill Hill Missionaries, St. Paul's Seminary has been a beacon of priestly formation in East Africa. Over the decades, the seminary has formed over 2,000 priests who now serve in various capacities across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan, and other parts of the world.

"This milestone reminds us of God's faithfulness and the dedication of countless individuals who have contributed to the growth of this institution," said Very Rev. Fr. Dr. Emmanuel Katongole, the current Rector.

The celebration included cultural performances by seminarians, the blessing of new infrastructure projects, and a grand reception for alumni, benefactors, and friends of the seminary.
