Rukiga: The elevation of Ryabirengye Church of Uganda in Bukinda, Rukiga District, to parish level is being hailed as a major milestone for the community.
The church will hold a Mega Thanksgiving Service on Thursday, 16th August 2026, under the theme _“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised”_ Psalm 46:1. The event is expected to mark the completion of the church building and celebrate its new parish status.
Hon. Roland Bish Ndyomugyenyi, Chief Host and Chief Mobilizer, has been credited for his consistent support towards the growth of the church. The former Rukiga District MP is also recognized for his continued impact through the Roland Ndyomugyenyi Education Fund, which remains active after his time in Parliament.
Rt. Rev. Gad Akanjuna, Bishop of Kigezi Diocese, will officiate as Chief Celebrant and lead the grand ceremony.
Hon. Bish Ndyomugyenyi notes, “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.”
