Message by the AMDA Marrieds Chairperson

Growing together in our marriages

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, and extend warm greetings from the AMDA Marrieds Council. We thank God for bringing us together for the AMDA Palm Sunday Mass, 2026.

The Marrieds Council guides, animates, encourages and supports family ministry to advance evangelism through families. A Christian family is the first place where children receive instruction in faith, and is rightly called a domestic church. Married couples are called to raise children in the teachings of the Church, live exemplary lives and support their families despite challenges.

Challenges facing Christian marriage

• Gender-based violence
• Economic stress and hardship
• Substance abuse
• Misuse of technology
• Family breakdown

Council initiatives

• Marrieds Dinner on 20 June 2026, the first of its kind
• Online discussions on relevant, people-centred topics
• Youth engagement to prepare future families

Special thanks go to Dr. Eng. Felix Twinomucunguzi and Mrs. Lydia Kaboyo, who led as Chief Guests, and to Fr. Hillary Katusiime, the Main Celebrant. See the Marrieds Council leaders.
