My journey to the priesthood was initially inspired by my upbringing at home, especially by my father’s prayer life. He was a catechist and used to gather us in the family to pray before eating and sleeping. As I got older, I grew to admire the missionary priests who were in charge of my parish called Hima, in particular Fr. Henry Valette. These inspirations at home and at my parish brought about a desire in me to live in a community with other like-minded men pursuing the faith, as priests who in community life are committed to praying for people.

I made an attempt to join a seminary but I was not able to succeed on my own. Since I thought my vocation to the priesthood had failed, I then decided to go to college and I was interested in accounting. But the Lord did not give up on me. Around that time I was introduced to the Capuchins who gave me a lot of encouragement in my dream of becoming a priest, so in 2015 I joined their Order as a novice.

OPTIONS FOR SPONSORSHIP

$500/month is a full sponsorship, but we give options for multiple sponsors to join together to sponsor a seminarian. If a seminarian is already partially sponsored, you may see less options for sponsorship.

Br. Kizito will be writing to each sponsor and praying for each family daily. Please know that sponsorship for his studies to become a priest (total of 4 years) is an enormous answer to his prayers and he will forever be praying for you whether you sponsor him partially or fully.
