Buhandagazi Christians Celebrate St. Peter’s Day with Call to Support the Boy Child

Rukungiri: Christians of Yakobo Orikwera Buhandagazi Church of Uganda have gathered in celebration of St. Peter’s Day, with a strong message centered on renewed focus toward supporting the boy child.

While preaching during the service on July 12, the parish priest Rev. Sison Gumisiriza expressed concern over the declining number of men participating in church activities and other development programs. He attributed this trend to the lack of attention and guidance given to boy children, calling on parents and guardians to be more intentional in nurturing them.
