In a bid to foster unity and promote Christ-centered service, the management of St. Leo’s College Kyegobe has held a one-day workshop for support staff under the theme, “One Hand Washes the Other.”
Speaking at a workshop that took place today at Maama Immaculate Initiative Hotel Virika formerly St. Joseph’s Inn, Rev. Fr. Godfrey Happy, Assistant Chaplain described the workshop as an opportunity to review the contribution of support staff and to remind them of their vital role in the well-being of the institution.
He emphasized the need to prioritize Christ-centeredness and teamwork in service.
Rev. Fr. Jacent Uwimana from Yerya Catholic Parish called on the staff to reflect on their roles and use their individual gifts to promote the common good of the school community. He encouraged them to appreciate the work they do and urged patience and dialogue in resolving challenges, rather than resorting to conflict.
Some of the participants welcomed the initiative. Juliet Nyangoma, a chapel cleaner, said the workshop showed that their efforts are recognized and valued.
The Head of Support Staff at the college, Augustine Mugisa, commended the chaplaincy for organizing the workshop, noting that he learned the importance of sharing views within the community.
Businge John, a long-serving caterer at the school, said he had never witnessed such an initiative before. He thanked the management for bringing workers together to listen to their views and said the training encouraged them to work with passion and apply the values learned both at work and at home.
