Following a review of the renewal programs at St. Augustine’s Institute by the Episcopal Chairman of Priestly Ongoing Formation, together with the diocesan ongoing formation coordinators and the Management of St. Augustine Institute, a three-year renewal program has been proposed. The same courses will be offered each year for three years, as was the case in 2011-2013. See table below:
2
COUNSELING COURSE
Whether they want it or not, whether they are trained or not, somehow priests are required constantly to do counseling work by the nature of their vocation.
The following are some of the benefits of the course:
Deepening of self-awareness, in particular greater awareness of one’s feelings and ability to deal with them
Learning basic counseling skills including listening, empathy, exploration, self-disclosure, summarizing, paraphrasing, constructive criticism, dealing with reluctant and resistant clients, dealing with transference and counter-transference

PASTORAL USE OF THE COMPUTER
While computer courses can be done anywhere in the country, it is not everywhere that pastoral agents are taught how to apply their acquired computer knowledge to ease and facilitate their pastoral work. The course covers computer basics including:
Microsoft Word Microsoft Excel Microsoft Publisher Microsoft PowerPoint Introduction to Data Base Typing Instructor The Internet Emails Social Media: WhatsApp, Facebook, Skype…
As well as that it helps participants to:
With basic book-keeping knowledge, be able to generate parish monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports with ease

Facilitator: Fr. Gerald LwangaFr. Simon Peter Kyambadde
Dates: 3rd – 23rd March 20191st – 21st March 20207th – 27th March 2021
Course cost: UGX 210,000/
Create registers for baptism, confirmation and matrimonial records on software for co-ordinated storage and easy retrieval of information
Explore the role of the Internet in the New Evangelization: its potential, limitations and dangers
Study the ethical implications of social media
It is of great advantage if participants come with their own laptops. That way they can practice lessons and do assignments in their own rooms. They are also more likely to continue practicing when they get back home. However, there are institute computers available for those who do not come with their own.

Thanks to our generous donors, each course costs Uganda Shilling 10,000/- per day, including accommodation, meals and course fees. You can compute how much a course costs simply by counting the number of days in it, including day of arrival and day of departure.
PRIESTS@FIVE YEARS
Every stage in life has its joys and challenges, so do the first five years of priestly ministry. Among the topics covered in this course will be:
The identity of a diocesan priest Community life; parish priest/curate
relationship From seminary to ministry: the transition
from being in formation to becoming a formator
Learning from the job: the challenge of receiving responsibilities for which one was not adequately prepared
Intimacy with Christ: relationship with the Lord as the only basis of an effective pastoral ministry
Self-sustenance and ministry
Like other courses at St. Augustine’s institute this course involves a lot of sharing and exchanging of experience.

Facilitators: Rt. Rev. Joseph Anthony ZziwaSt. Augustine Institute Staff
Dates 12th -25th May 201910th – 23rd May 202009th 21st May 2021
“Ongoing formation is a duty, in the first instance, for young priests. They should have frequent and systematic meetings which, while they continue the sound and serious formation they have received in the seminary, will gradually lead young priests to grasp and incarnate the unique wealth of God's gift which is the priesthood and to express their capabilities and ministerial attitude, also through an ever more convinced and responsible insertion in the presbyterate, and therefore in communion and co - responsibility with all their brethren…
With priests who have just come out of the seminary, a certain sense of "having had enough is quite” understandable when faced with new times of study and meeting. But the idea that priestly formation ends on the day one leaves the seminary is false and dangerous, and needs to be totally rejected…”
(Post–synodal Apostolic Exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis to the Bishops, Clergy and Faithful on the Formation of Priests in the Circumstances of the Present Day. Number 76)

25 YEARS PRIESTLY REUNION
Meet with your priest-classmates to celebrate together the gift of priesthood: reminisce, relax, share together on various topics: how you chose to become a priest, the joys and challenges you have encountered, the transfers you have had, how you manage with dependents, the ministry of the sacraments, the encounter with the Lord in prayer, just what fires your priesthood.
It must be pointed out that the meeting of the priests celebrating 25 years is not meant to be a retreat. The temptation to talk with comrades not seen in 25 years is far too much! This period is used exclusively for organized sharing on the 25 years of priestly ministry. Participants are at liberty to organize their retreats as usual elsewhere.

Jubilarians are urged to contact each other ahead of the reunion at St. Augustine’s institute, to encourage each other to attend and to remind each other of the dates. If accidentally, some names are not included on the list here, those who know the left-out members are encouraged to inform and invite them. The reunion also serves as an occasion to pray for diseased members of the group, for those who left active ministry, and for those who never made it to the priesthood but chose other vocations.

EIGHT DAY IGNATIAN RETREAT
“He who goes about to reform the world must begin with
himself, or he loses his labor.” - Ignatius of Loyola.
As priests and religious we have embraced a vocation which requires us to “reform the world.” Yet we can spend the whole of our life without serious effort to reform ourselves. Ignatius tells us that this is wastage of time. However, he does more than that: he proposes a program that over many centuries has become time-tested and has transformed numerous ordinary men and women into saints and martyrs, beginning with Ignatius himself and his companions. This is the “Spiritual Exercises”.
Not that we have not tried to reform ourselves, to grow from sin and embrace virtue. How many retreats and recollections we have attended, how many confessions, how many good resolutions! Yet we often have the experience over time, of realizing that we are not much different than before.
There is no guarantee that the Ignatian retreat will transform you; there are many who have attended it and remained the same, or become worse. But that is
17

no reason not to give it a trial. The fact that many have been led to sanctity through the Spiritual Exercises is good enough reason to try them. After all, the decision to allow God to transform you depends on you.

COURSES: PHILLIP, JOHN, MOSES
Course John was first introduced in 2017 by a member of the St. Andrew’s School of Evangelization in Canada, (http://www.sase.ca/index.php) together with their collaborators in Uganda. The St. Andrew School of Evangelization is a Catholic ministry of lay people and clergy, evangelizing, proclaiming the gospel in the model of the apostle St. Andrew. Andrew, upon encountering the Christ, first went to get his brother Simon Peter. (Cf. John1:35-42)
Their mission states: “We want to bring the 'Simon Peters' of the world to Jesus, who will serve, preach, and love our Lord Jesus more, and better than ourselves, being bold witnesses of the saving message of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.”
In the years 2019-2021 three courses of this nature are scheduled, namely:
1. Course Phillip which focuses on Personal Encounter with the risen Jesus and receiving new life.
2. Course John which develops the attitude of discipleship of Jesus
3. Course Moses which develops the leadership skills of people who hold posts of responsibility in the Church.
The course will be conducted in collaboration with Koinonia John the Baptist (www.koinoniajb.org) a Catholic Charismatic organization based in South Africa at the service of New Evangelization.
19
Dates: Course Phillip: 20-26 October 2019Course John : 18-24 October 2020Course Moses: 17-23 October 2021
To these three courses lay members are also invited.
