Our story

The desire to serve God as a priest started quite early when I was a little boy. While at St. Joseph’s College Layibi, a tragic incident happened on the night of 30th March, 2004. Our chaplain Father Luciano – a Comboni Missionary – was brutally murdered after hearing our confessions in preparation for Easter. It was Holy Week. It happened by chance that I was the last to go to confession. That incident struck me like a bolt of lightning:

Fr. George Previdi was the Parish Priest of our Lady of annunciation, Kasaala Parish untill 2019.

Arriving at the Johannesburg O.R. Tambo international airport that morning, I was overwhelmed by its level of development and vastness. I felt I was back to Europe where I had been until seven months ago. Different from the European airports I had been in though was

Fr Larem has lived and worked in Uganda for over 52 years and his love for missionary work began at a tender age. At the age of 10, he already became an altar boy at Cadorago Parish in Italy and it was at this time that he felt the zeal of serving the Lord, God. He narrates that one-day, as he came out at the sacristy; he met with Fr. Giovanni Meloni who asked him if he wanted to
