About Adult Guilds
Adult Guilds play an important role in bringing and keeping the faithful together. Uganda Martyrs Parish has four such guilds.
Hosi Yedenga
Mary Queen of Heaven Guild/Maria Hosi Yedenga Guild is the largest guild in the parish and count their numbers in hundreds. They are composed of both men and women, though the women are in greater numbers.
Amongst their activities are charity visits, supporting their members in times of sickness and bereavement. They are also
affiliated to their counterparts in other parishes and and occasionally come together to pray and strengthen each other in their devotion to Maria Hosi Yedenga.
The parish grotto was singularly refurbished by this Guild although the statue is a donation from Living Rosary International.
Sacred Heart of Jesus
Sacred Heart of Jesus Guild/Mwoyo Musande Guild is the second largest adult Guild. In their red and purple uniforms they too busy themselves being charitable.
Uganda Martyrs Parish was amongst the first parishes in the Archdiocese to establish membership. This was due mainly to its proximity to All Saints Kambuzuma parish where one of the founding members resided.
Anna and Joachim
Sts Joackim and Anne Guild is also a newcomer to the Archdiocese. The devotion being to the parents of Mary and foster grandparents of Jesus ,it once only attracted elderly women as members. That has since changed and the elderly are being joined by younger members though mostly women. Sts Joackim and Anne Guild is a leading and important guild providing support for parish and clergy.
St Joseph's Guild
St Joseph Guild is still a guild for men only. It was established outside the Harare Archdiocese and membership at Uganda Martyrs Parish came only in the early 2000. It has grown steadily in membership and has contributed much in increasing attendance and participation of Catholic men who have been outnumbered by the women for many years. The group has a bright future as it continues to attract more and more influential lay Catholics.
Our Lady of Sorrows
Our Lady of Sorrows Guild/Maria Mutamburi Guild is the latest arrival. Adopted from Masvingo Diocese membership has been plagued by its members relocating outside the parish. With the strength of the few members it is possible to gain traction just like its predecessors from outside the Archdiocese.
