Faith Across Continents: A 7-Day Pilgrimage to Uganda’s Martyrs

7 Days

Overview

Step into Uganda’s sacred narrative, a land where martyrdom, mercy, and missionary spirit intertwine. This 7-day pilgrimage is a profound journey of faith for Polish Catholic travelers tracing the footsteps of saints and the legacy of Polish-Ugandan solidarity.

Begin in Kampala with spiritual immersion at Munyonyo and Namugongo, where young martyrs stood firm in faith and where Polish Fathers now serve. Journey east to the revered Buluba Hospital, once led by Dr. Wanda Błeńska, the “Mother of Lepers,” and cruise the Nile’s sacred waters in reflection.

Track rhinos in Ziwa, then visit Masindi’s WWII-era Polish refugee church, a powerful testament to exiled faith and the strength of displaced communities. Engage with Ugandan families in the vibrant Kanyanda community, where faith is lived daily through local hospitality. Culminate your pilgrimage in Namugongo during the Uganda Martyrs Day celebration, one of the most moving Christian gatherings in Africa. Before your flight home, sail into the equatorial sunset on Lake Victoria, the world’s second-largest lake, carrying home the spirit of saints and solidarity
