University of Saint Joseph, Mbarara

The Archdiocese of Mbarara has decided to start a Catholic founded university, called University of Saint Joseph, Mbarara.

In his pastoral letter To All Clergy Religious And Faithful, the Archbishop of Mbarara His Grace Paul K. Bakyenga emphasised,

"Our decision to start a university must be seen as a pastoral priority which takes into account the growth and developments of our Archdiocese, and the different pastoral challenges we are facing, particularly in the areas of spiritual growth and socio-economic development in our Archdiocese, in Uganda and in Africa".

The main campus of USJM shall be established at Nyamitanga, opposite the Holy Innocents Children’s Hospital.
