Fr. Anton Paul Padinjarathala, S.D.B, a delegate from the Dicastery for Evangelization of peoples in Rome, gave a oneday Seminar to the Superiors General of Associations IN ITINERE (communities that are “on the journey” towards becoming formal, recognized Religious Institutes) and Institutes of Consecrated Life of Diocesan Right.
The Seminar, held at the ARU Secretariat on the 18th April 2026, was initiated through the Uganda Nunciature by Fr. Georges Kwami Kouwonou who currently oversees the affairs of the Apostolic Nunciature in Uganda and spearheaded by the Association of Religious in Uganda (ARU) President, Fr. John Bosco Kamoga, C.S.Sp.
Eight (8) Superiors of Men and women Institutes of Diocesan Right and Fourteen (14) Superiors of Public Associations in Uganda attended. It was a significant opportunity for the superiors to have this engagement with such a key person in the functions of our Institutes who guided participants in deepening their understanding of the canonical and procedural norms governing Consecrated Life.
The workshop was an enriching experience, enhancing awareness and strengthening the superiors’ knowledge for the more effective and responsible exercise of their offices. The superiors expressed deep appreciation for the clarity and practical insights offered.
