Father Bomukama in Uganda - from Student to School Builder

Prepare to be deeply moved by the miraculous journey of Father Bomukama Denis, a beacon of hope from a small village in Uganda. As a poor child, his sole prayer was to attend school—an opportunity many of us take for granted. Through unwavering faith and relentless persistence, Father Denis embarked on a miraculous path, guided by divine intervention.

Born into hardship, Father Denis faced unimaginable challenges. His father succumbed to AIDS when he was just three years old, leaving him to navigate the harsh realities of poverty, the AIDS epidemic, and the scarcity of basic necessities like food, water, and clothing. Despite these overwhelming obstacles, his determination and faith propelled him forward. Not only did he achieve his dream of going to school, but he also excelled academically, ultimately becoming a priest and earning a Master’s degree.

Father Denis’s journey didn’t stop there. Driven by his own experiences and the memory of his childhood prayer, he founded a school for orphans of all religions, ensuring that no child would be denied the education he once longed for. His mission to support children in the remotest villages of Uganda continues to grow, offering hope and a brighter future to the most vulnerable.

Now a priest of Divine Mercy, Father Denis collaborates with Pat Polachek at the Foundation of Jesus The Divine Mercy, whose inspiring story you may recall from our previous podcast. Together, they work tirelessly to spread the message of mercy and compassion.
