UGANDA MARTYRS KAKONE PARISH.
HISTORICAL BACK GROUND /brief history of kakone parih
Uganda Martyrs Kakone parish was officially opened on the 25th Nov, 2012, Rev Fr. Job Masereka Syathamira as parish priest and Rev Fr. Kautha Godfrey who both officially reported on 10th Sept 2012 after which Rev Fr. Charles Muhindo Kagheni came to assist the two priests. Currently the Parish is being administered by Rev. Fr. Leonary Sumbuko Sibita as the Parish Priest .
The Parish according to the statistics required by Rome 2017 has 23570 baptized Christians, other Christian denominations 12240; Non-Christians 3072 and the total number of inhabitants i.e. 38882 people. The parish currently has 25 local churches. From these local churches or out stations we have eight (8) sub-parishes which include Kibiri, Kakone, Ighanza, Kyabwenge, Nyamisule, Nyakabingo, Kibalya and Kibandama, which are further sub-divided into basic Small Christian Communities.
The Parish has further been divided into two zones i.e. Upper zone (Kibalya) and Lower zone (Kakone) which was a resolution of both Pastoral Council and the Catechists. The zones were officially opened on 5th March 2014 on Ash Wednesday. This was done to extend pastoral services nearer to the Christians and for easy administration.
The out stations are managed by 44 catechists. The catechists are headed by Muhindo Augustine Amengenimani and his executive and the Parish Pastoral Council Chairperson Mr. Matia Mbusa Mauru and his executive who have done a commendable work to link the Christians to the priests through their administration and pastoral visits.
The Christians have been cooperative in making the work easy for the priests in their pastoral Ministry. This has often been seen in the Lay Apostolate Movements as Legion of Mary, Catholic Charismatic Renewal, Missionary Holy Childhood, Devotees to St. Jude the youth choir, Uganda Martyrs Guild, Catholic Women Association, Omusondolya Thuminyane Group.
The parish Land is 12 acres with coffee plants, Eucalyptus trees pine trees and some fruit trees. We have the Priests house (Presbytery), the Parish Church recently renovated, Kakone Primary that lacks learning structures.
The Parish has 10 Primary schools and six Nurseries.
