A Note From Us
Mission at Heart supports children, families, communities, and seminarians in Uganda through works of mercy and faith-filled giving.
Our work focuses on real needs with lasting impact — guided by the Catholic understanding that every person is made in the image and likeness of God.
"A country of deep faith,
vibrant communities,
and great hope."
— our reason for being here
A place of great need, and even greater hope.
Uganda is a country of deep faith, vibrant communities, and great need. In many places, families face daily challenges that can be difficult to imagine: limited access to clean water, lack of basic supplies, educational obstacles, and financial hardship.
At the same time, Uganda is also a place of tremendous hope. The Catholic faith is alive. Vocations are growing. Communities are generous, joyful, and resilient.
Mission at Heart exists to walk alongside these communities — not from a distance, but with love, humility, and a desire to serve Christ in each person we encounter.
We serve because Christ first loved us. We give because everything we have is a gift. We support the poor, the child, the family, and the future priest because each one belongs to the heart of the Church.
Fr. Alex
Mugalaasi
A central inspiration behind Mission at Heart is the work and witness of Fr. Alex Mugalaasi, a Catholic priest from the Lugazi Diocese involved in the spiritual and priestly formation of seminarians.
Since October 2023, he has served as National Director for the Propaedeutic Year — guiding young men in the critical preparatory period before major seminary. He has also been described as National Director for Spiritual Formation for Priestly Candidates in Kampala, Uganda.
When you help form a seminarian, you participate in something larger than one moment of charity. You help strengthen the Church. A gift to seminarian formation can bear fruit for decades.
Love should be practical.
