A church is building a shopping center to pay its bills. Bubaare Catholic Parish, also called St. Charles Lwanga, in Ibanda District launched a three and a half billion shilling commercial project on Christmas Day. The plan involves putting up income-generating buildings on their land along the busy Ibanda-Fort Portal Road. Parish Council head Aloysius Kasingye said the goal is financial stability, moving away from just relying on Sunday collections and gifts.

The parish priest, Father Eladius Tailo, mentioned that the Archbishop of Mbarara, Lambert Bainomugisha, gave a full thumbs-up to the idea. He asked the congregation to get behind the build, which they aim to finish in a year. Leaders think this complex will secure money for church operations and also help the local area by creating some jobs and business traffic. This parish, started back in 2010 and run by the Apostles of Jesus order, is betting on concrete and commerce to fund its future spiritual work.
