The Catholic Church in Uganda is preparing for African Bishops Assembly Golden Jubilee celebrations to be held in Uganda From July 19, to July 29, 2019.

SECAM: The Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) is an Assembly of all African Bishops, who during the Vatican Council II (1962-1965) resolved to build a continental structure in order to unite the Church in Africa and promote collaboration in pastoral ministry.
The Association was officially launched on July 29, 1969 at Lubaga Cathedral by Saint Pope Paul VI. For this reason, the Uganda Episcopal Conference has been tasked to host and lead the Golden Jubilee Celebrations, and it’s a great honour to the country.
Over 400 delegates including Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops and others from the African continent and other parts of the world are expected to attend the celebrations.
Pope Francis will be represented by a delegation from the Vatican.
