Our Vision:  To Become A Perfect Choir Evangelising Through Singing And Praising

Our Mission: To Provide Quality Singing To Facilitate Believers Praise God Better As We Match To Our Heavenly Home

As of 31st December 2020, the choir comprised 65 active members where 29 are Males and 36 are Females. However, the Choir also has 34 registered but nonactive members.

We have continued to receive new members. We thank the Lord and also thank those who recruited them to CACEMCHO. Let us continue holding each other’s hands and ensure that all voices are well balanced with more members.

This was established to help choir members save and borrow for their domestic needs. The Scheme had grown to a tune of 12,000,000 by December 2019 but some members withdrew savings due to the challenges of the Covid 19 Pandemic in 2020. The scheme currently has a portfolio of Ugx. 5,229,800 and maintains account No. 3200639663 in Centenary Bank with 3 choir members as signatories. Each member who joins the scheme is entitled to a saving passbook to keep track of their savings records.

CACEMCHO greatly appreciates Monsignor Gerald Kalumba, the Parish Priest Christ the King, and his team for the support rendered to the choir.

We also thank Chaplain Fr. Mathias Nteza for his good leadership, guidance, and love for our Choir and all the choirs here at Christ the King. We also appreciate the courage, support, and companionship from the Christ the King Choirs Association leadership and all the association Choirs.

We are grateful to the Administration of Christ the King Parish  Kampala for appointing us to animate the 7 am mass which was originally being animated by St. John Mary Mzee choir that was unable to continue with this service. We thank God for the opportunity to serve in that capacity.

The Choir has maintained a high standard in its quality of singing and great appreciation goes to the Technical Team.
