To all people of good will and friends of Lubaga Cathedral,

 

RE: CONSTRUCTION OF A PIPE ORGAN IN LUBAGA CATHEDRAL

 

We are embarking on a program to enrich the life of our community through the beauty of a new Pipe Organ in Lubaga Cathedral. This instrument will greatly enhance our music tradition and add to our worship experience. lt has been said that no other instrument acts so powerfully as a medium of both meditation and celebration.

 

Many visitors to the Cathedral quickly realise that a Cathedral of this magnitude and significance misses a Pipe Organ. A Pipe Organ is not only a musical instrument, but also a monument that adds to the beauty of the Cathedral and completes it. A Cathedral of such magnificence, and architectural beauty; its liturgical, cultural, social and historical significance; its national and international appeal, its place as a heritage of Christianity in Africa, deserves an equally magnificent and beautiful instrument that fits it.

 

This is both a local and international project. In addition to promoting local music skills, and craftsmanship related to the construction and maintenance of pipe organs, this project will also promote international cooperation and cultural exchange.

 

The idea of having a beautiful Pipe Organ for the Cathedral is not new. The wish has been ongoing for long and the question has always been the same: How do we get there? A project of this magnitude is quite challenging; above all it will require the faith and will to raise the required funds to see this project through, for the greater glory of God and the edification of the faithful.

 

I warmly invite you to participate in this worthy and lasting project. Please prayerfully consider the amount of your gift, either as a pledge over the next two years, or as a one-time gift. We are counting on you to make this project a success.

 

Thank you for your support of this most worthy addition to our Cathedral. We all hope to share the inspiration this new instrument will bring to our lives.

 

Yours faithfully,

Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere,

Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese, Uganda.
