Welcome to the site of the Ugandan Spiritans of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit under the Protection of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Congregation of the Holy Spirit was founded in France by Claude Poullart des Places, by then a young seminarian aged 24, on Pentecost Sunday, May 26, 1703. His original intention was to train poor seminarians both spiritually and morally and also provide them with material support. As priests he wanted them to work among the most neglected in the Lord’s vineyard. This humble beginning developed into an international Congregation of more than 2,968 members working in more that 65 countries.

With the above vision, our mission is to be at the service of the marginalized. So far, we are engaged in HIV/AIDS ministry, educating school drop out girls, educating deaf children and ministering the sick especially at Mulago Hospital. The experience we have acquired in ministering these marginalized people will be of great value wherever we will be called upon to do ministry.

More than half of the population of Uganda is below the age of 18. Our mission is to work among the youth not only to get vocations from them to Religious life, but also to instill in them Christian moral values so that they may be good citizens. Our mission will also involve interreligious dialogue especially with other Christian families.
