AMECEA Secretary General Rev. Fr.
Ferdinand Lugonzo has asked the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) to
effectively serve the AMECEA region by being a good model to all the National
Catholic Universities.
Speaking at the beginning of
Capacity Building Workshop for top management from Catholic Dioceses of Uganda
on Tuesday 5th May in Kampala, Fr. Lugonzo said, “CUEA, as the
Catholic University of the region has a responsibility to serve the region by
collaborating with the National Catholic Universities and by listening to
people and agents of evangelization so that we can offer concrete resolutions
on what we need to work on.”

Fr. Lugonzo further explained
that the objectives of AMECEA, an association of Bishops which have been in
existence for 54 years, clearly states that pastoral work cannot be
accomplished on an individual level. It is for this reason that this
Association of Bishops was founded in order to promote collaboration among
bishops; strive to address arising pastoral challenges with a common approach
and offer some common solutions to some of the pastoral concerns region is
facing.

“It is one way of ensuring that
we want to sit together, listen to each other and tell ourselves what to do so
that our pastoral work is more effective and bears more fruits,” he said.

Fr. Lugonzo explained that it was
against this backdrop that AMECEA Bishops thought it wise to establish the
Catholic University of Eastern Africa in order to be a leading University for research
and proposing pastoral solutions to arising issues in the region.

“We are happy that as years pass
by, almost every Episcopal Conference of AMECEA has established a Catholic
University. This is a blessing to the Church in this region,” he said.
