Kasana–Luweero Diocese has raised Shs670 million towards this year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal Fund (BAAFU), marking a significant milestone in its efforts to mobilise resources for the growth and development of the Church.
The achievement was announced by the Diocesan Treasurer General, Rev. Fr. Achilles Kiwanuka, in an appreciation notice dated November 10, 2026, addressed to the entire Kasana–Luweero Diocese family.
In his message, Fr. Kiwanuka expressed gratitude to all those who actively participated in the 2026 BAAFU mobilisation exercise, particularly Parish Priests, chaplains, persons in charge of schools and health facilities, head teachers, members of the Diocesan BAAFU Committee, KALUNCLA members, heads of the laity, catechists and the entire diocesan family.
He encouraged the faithful to sustain the spirit of communion, solidarity and shared responsibility in supporting the mission and activities of the Church.
The announcement comes just days after the climax of the 2026 BAAFU celebrations, held on Sunday, November 8, at the Diocesan headquarters in Kasana, Luweero Town Council.
During the celebrations, the Bishop of Kasana–Luweero Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Lawrence Mukasa, commended the clergy, religious, lay faithful and other benefactors for their continued generosity and commitment to the growth and development of the Diocese.
The annual fundraising initiative has registered remarkable growth over the past three years. In 2024, the Diocese raised more than Shs200 million, part of which was used to support development works at Nakitoma Parish.
In 2025, collections exceeded Shs500 million, with the funds directed towards the rehabilitation of the Cathedral.
For 2026, the Diocese set an ambitious target of Shs1 billion, intended to support the completion of the KALUDO Complex, an income-generating venture expected to strengthen the Diocese’s financial sustainability.
Although the Shs670 million raised so far represents significant progress, the Diocese remains Shs330 million short of its target.
The latest achievement reflects the growing spirit of generosity and collective commitment among the clergy, religious, lay faithful and other supporters as Kasana–Luweero Diocese continues to mobilise resources for its pastoral, developmental and evangelisation mission.
