The following are some of the benefits of the course:

Deepening of self-awareness, in particular

greater awareness of one’s feelings and

ability to deal with them

Learning basic counseling skills including

listening, empathy, exploration, self-

disclosure, summarizing, paraphrasing,

constructive criticism, dealing with reluctant

and resistant clients, dealing with

transference and counter-transference

Improvement of relationships with

community members, superiors, subjects and

subordinates

Acquisition of conflict management skills

Acquiring of ability to develop and facilitate

support groups

Receiving the possibility of being counseled

on personal issues (this service is offered

only if asked for by a participant)

Profiting from Group Therapy and becoming

equipped with skills of how to start and run

Growth Groups and support groups

Improvement of basic skills of day-to-day

human interaction

Sharing of experiences on selected topics

including prayer, liturgy, pastoral work, self-

sustenance, caring for dependents in ways

that do not jeopardize pastoral ministry,

celibacy, transfers, relationships, etc.

5

Each day participants are exposed to:

a) A one-hour session on basic counseling skills

b) A one-to-one counseling practice session

followed by evaluation

c) Growth group sessions, and/or practice of

counseling in small groups

6

PASTORAL USE OF THE COMPUTER

While computer courses can be done anywhere in the

country, it is not everywhere that pastoral agents are

taught how to apply their acquired computer

knowledge to ease and facilitate their pastoral work.

The course covers computer basics including:

Microsoft Word

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Publisher

Microsoft PowerPoint

Facilitator: Fr. Gerald Lwanga

Fr. Simon Peter Kyambadde

Dates: 3rd – 23rd February 2019

1st – 21st March 2020

7th – 27th March 2021

Course cost: UGX 210,000/

Introduction to Data Base

Typing Instructor

The Internet

Emails

Social Media: WhatsApp, Facebook, Skype…

As well as that it helps participants to:

With basic book-keeping knowledge, be

able to generate parish monthly,

quarterly and annual financial reports

with ease

Create registers for baptism, confirmation

and matrimonial records on software for

co-ordinated storage and easy retrieval of

information

Explore the role of the Internet in the

New Evangelization: its potential,

limitations and dangers

Study the ethical implications of social

media

It is of great advantage if participants come with their

own laptops. That way they can practice lessons and

do assignments in their own rooms. They are also

more likely to continue practicing when they get back

home. However, there are institute computers

available for those who do not come with their own.

Thanks to our generous donors, each course costs

Uganda Shilling 10,000/- per day, including

accommodation, meals and course fees. You can

compute how much a course costs simply by counting

the number of days in it, including day of arrival and

day of departure.

PRIESTS@FIVE YEARS

Every stage in life has its joys and challenges, so do

the first five years of priestly ministry. Among the

topics covered in this course will be:

The identity of a diocesan priest

Community life; parish priest/curate

relationship

From seminary to ministry: the transition

from being in formation to becoming a

formator

Learning from the job: the challenge of

receiving responsibilities for which one

was not adequately prepared

Intimacy with Christ: relationship with

the Lord as the only basis of an effective

pastoral ministry

Self-sustenance and ministry

Facilitators: Rt. Rev. Joseph Anthony Zziwa

St. Augustine Institute Staff

Dates 12th -25th May 2019

10th – 23rd May 2020

09th 21st May 2021

Like other courses at St. Augustine’s institute this

course involves a lot of sharing and exchanging of

experience.

“Ongoing formation is a duty, in the first instance, for young priests. They should have frequent and systematic meetings which, while they continue the sound and serious formation they have received in the seminary, will gradually lead young priests to grasp and incarnate the unique wealth of God's gift which is the priesthood and to express their capabilities and ministerial attitude, also through an ever more convinced and responsible insertion in the presbyterate, and therefore in communion and co - responsibility with all their brethren…

With priests who have just come out of the seminary, a

certain sense of "having had enough is quite”

understandable when faced with new times of study

and meeting. But the idea that priestly formation ends

on the day one leaves the seminary is false and

dangerous, and needs to be totally rejected…”

(Post–synodal Apostolic Exhortation Pastores Dabo

Vobis to the Bishops, Clergy and Faithful on the

Formation of Priests in the Circumstances of the

Present Day. Number 76)

10

25 YEARS PRIESTLY REUNION

Meet with your priest-classmates to celebrate

together the gift of priesthood: reminisce, relax, share

together on various topics: how you chose to become

a priest, the joys and challenges you have

encountered, the transfers you have had, how you

manage with dependents, the ministry of the

sacraments, the encounter with the Lord in prayer,

just what fires your priesthood.

It must be pointed out that the meeting of the priests

celebrating 25 years is not meant to be a retreat. The

temptation to talk with comrades not seen in 25

years is far too much! This period is used exclusively

for organized sharing on the 25 years of priestly

ministry. Participants are at liberty to organize their

retreats as usual elsewhere.

Facilitators: St. Augustine’s Institute Staff

Dates 16th – 22nd June 2019

21st – 27th June 2020

Jubilarians are urged to contact each other ahead of

the reunion at St. Augustine’s institute, to encourage

each other to attend and to remind each other of the

dates. If accidentally, some names are not included on

the list here, those who know the left-out members

are encouraged to inform and invite them. The

reunion also serves as an occasion to pray for

deceased members of the group, for those who left

active ministry, and for those who never made it to

the priesthood but chose other vocations.

IGNATIAN RETREAT

“

He who goes about to reform the world must begin with

himself, or he loses his labor.” - Ignatius of Loyola.

As priests and religious we have embraced a vocation

which requires us to “reform the world.” Yet we can

spend the whole of our life without serious effort to

reform ourselves. Ignatius tells us that this is wastage

of time. However, he does more than that: he

proposes a program that over many centuries has

become time-tested and has transformed numerous

ordinary men and women into saints and martyrs,

Facilitator: Fr. George Ukken SJ

Dates: 1st July – 2nd August 2019

16th – 25th September 2019

beginning with Ignatius himself and his companions.

This is the “Spiritual Exercises”.

Not that we have not tried to reform ourselves, to

grow from sin and embrace virtue. How many

retreats and recollections we have attended, how

many confessions, how many good resolutions! Yet

we often have the experience over time, of realizing

that we are not much different than before.

There is no guarantee that the Ignatian retreat will

transform you; there are many who have attended it

and remained the same, or become worse. But that is

no reason not to give it a trial. The fact that many

have been led to sanctity through the Spiritual

Exercises is good enough reason to try them. After all,

the decision to allow God to transform you depends

on you.

COURSES: PHILLIP, JOHN, MOSES

Course John was first introduced in 2017 by a member of the St.

Andrew’s School of

Evangelization in Canada,

(http://www.sase.ca/index.

collaborators in Uganda. The St.

Andrew School of Evangelization

is a Catholic ministry of lay

people and clergy, evangelizing,

proclaiming the gospel in the

model of the apostle St. Andrew.

Andrew, upon encountering the Christ, first went to get his

brother Simon Peter. (Cf. John1:35-42)

Their mission states: “We want to bring the 'Simon Peters' of the

world to Jesus, who will serve, preach, and love our Lord Jesus

more, and better than ourselves, being bold witnesses of the

saving message of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.”

In the years 2019-2021 three courses of this nature are scheduled,

namely:

with the risen Jesus and receiving new life.

discipleship of Jesus

3. Course Moses which develops the leadership skills of

people who hold posts of responsibility in the Church.

The course will be conducted in collaboration with Koinonia

John the Baptist (www.koinoniajb.org) a Catholic Charismatic

organization based in South Africa at the service of New

Evangelization.
