Laudato Si’ teaches us that “everything is connected.” During this extraordinary moment, Catholics everywhere are uniting to reflect, pray, and prepare for a better future together.

Francis comes to Kamwokya

St. Francis of Assisi

This play is about the life of St Francis of Assisi who was born in 1181 and lived till 1226. His life’s experiences are still relevant today and can be seen in the light in appreciation of life’s challenges as opportunities and turning disadvantages into advantages. A research focused on youth in Kamwokya sparked off the inspiration to produce this drama.

Much of the text as originally produced and played by students of St Maria Goretti Secondary School under the production of Srs. Wiro and Sir Edward Ann Both Teachers at school then. Very minor edits have been made owing to loss of the original text and relying on recorded material which generously provided by Dr. Hannington Byarugaba. We appreciate this contribution and that of Mr Fautsine Nyakaana who upon request secured it from Hannington.

 

 It is being reproduced by The Bright Dove of St Francis, Kamwokya, in collaboration with Igaaza Creations Ltd. The themes remain relevant and hence the objectives under the current production

1.      To enlighten the community on their mutual obligation towards addressing challenges faced by youth

2.      To sensitize the community to their potential to provide children and youth a foundation for a better future

3.      To highlight the tension between children/youth and parents/guardians and the role of parents in giving constructive space to youth/children to follow their dreams.

 4.      To motivate youth and parents with relational problems to undertake self-reflection and discovery
