The Catholic Church has commended Trinity College Nabbingo for its commitment to nurturing well-rounded girls through holistic education, emphasising the importance of integrating academic excellence with strong religious and moral values.
Church leaders have also praised parents who consistently choose faith-based schools for their children, saying such institutions help shape responsible citizens and prepare learners to become exceptional leaders of tomorrow.
The remarks were made on Saturday, October 10, 2026, by the Vicar General, Rev. Fr. Vincent Rogers Kabuye, who represented Dr. Emmanuel Katongole at a dinner held to celebrate the completion phase of the new chapel project at Trinity College Nabbingo in Mulo, Wakiso District.
The colourful ceremony brought together distinguished personalities from government, the Rotary movement, the private sector and friends of the college, who collectively raised more than Shs450 million towards the completion of the chapel construction project.
Clergy members, including Rev. Fr. Dr. Ambrose Bwangato, the Pastoral Coordinator of Kampala Archdiocese, encouraged parents and friends of prominent faith-based institutions such as Trinity College Nabbingo to continue supporting schools that provide a strong Catholic foundation for learners.
They noted that religious education plays a critical role in shaping students’ character, promoting discipline and preparing them to become responsible members of society.
The college’s Board of Governors welcomed the mobilisation of resources from former students and well-wishers, describing their contribution towards a project of such magnitude as a commendable initiative that deserves appreciation and continued support from all stakeholders.
Speaking on behalf of the college, the chaplain, Rev. Fr. J.C. Kiwanuka, thanked friends of the institution for their impressive turnout and generous contributions towards the completion of the chapel.
Flanked by Rev. Fr. Dr. Ambrose Bwangato, he said the chapel would serve as a centre for imparting Christian moral values and providing spiritual guidance and counselling to students.
He added that the facility would offer girls an environment for spiritual nourishment and guidance as they prepare to become responsible citizens and women of substance.
The college leaders also commended Rtn. Katongole for playing an instrumental role in mobilising resources from his friends within the Rotary fraternity. They said his commitment to humanitarian and community-focused projects was an example worthy of emulation.
Meanwhile, the college headmistress, Immaculate Nasozi Lwanga, applauded friends of the institution for their generosity towards the chapel project, whose estimated cost stands at Shs6.9 billion.
She called upon those who did not attend the fundraising dinner to contribute towards the project, either through financial donations or material support, to facilitate the timely completion of the chapel.
The college leadership expressed optimism that continued support from parents, former students, friends and other well-wishers would help bring the project to completion, strengthening the institution’s mission of combining academic development with spiritual and moral formation.
