BIOGRAPHY OF OUR PATRON SAINT
Saint Kizito (1872 – June 3, 1886) was one of the Martyrs of Uganda and the youngest martyr slain by the King Mwanga II of Buganda. He was baptized on 25/26 May 1886, by Charles Lwanga, the leader of Uganda's Christian community at the time, at Munyonyo, and burned alive on 3 June 1886 in Namugongo.
PRAYER OF JUMUIA
All-powerful and merciful Father, from age to age, you raise up mortal men like us and perfect them in virtues so that they may continue to be examples of faith to us. We glorify your name for giving our Small Christian Community and Parish the life and witness of St. Kizito as a constant model of discipleship.
NOVENA OF OUR PATRON SAINT
O St. Kizito, who strengthened by God's grace, did not hesitate even at your tender age, to shade your blood, and sacrifice life itself, to defend your faith. We, your brothers and sisters, implore you to intercede for us before God, for the grace to imitate your virtues of fortitude, charity, and fidelity.
Through your intercession, may we be courageous in spreading the gospel of Christ to humanity. Help us to remain strong, in the face of the challenges, tribulations, and trials that confront us today.
O Glorious Kizito, obtain for us too, from our Lord, peace, and unity, victory in temptation, comfort in sorrow, strength in adversity, health in weakness, and the grace which we earnestly pray for now (mention your private intention).
May we one day, enjoy with you the imperishable glory of heaven. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
Our Lady Queen of Martyrs - pray for us!
O Martyrs of Uganda - pray for us!
St. Kizito - pray for us!

Amen
