ABOUT US

We are a Catholic Parish and Shrine in Kampala Archdiocese dedicated to Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, and established in the honor of the Martyrs of Uganda by the Mill Hill Missionaries in 1935; 49 years after the Namugongo holocaust.

The Shrine is approximately on twenty six hectares of land gazette for Mass, recollections, seminars, retreats, reflections, meditation, fellowships, crusades, weddings, and faith based tours. In our proximity are schools, a medical center, congregation houses, retreat centers and residences of the local community.

We have enough Catholic priests on ground, available to attend to the spiritual needs of the pilgrims and parishioners every day of the week, with the parish offices open from Monday to Friday from 08:30 am to 05:00 pm EAT.

The pilgrims’ office is open to the public every day of the week from 08:30 am to 06:00 pm EAT, with pilgrims guides available to enlighten the pilgrims about the Uganda Martyrs and the Shrine.
