Rampant inflation and other severe economic troubles are threatening to close seminaries in Uganda, despite the growing number of priestly vocations in the country.
[. . .]
Alokolum Seminary is based in an area that has endured over 20 years of civil war between the Ugandan government and the Lord’s Resistance Army.
Although the seminary is suffering from a severe shortage of space, it has had to stop all building because materials have become increasingly expensive.
However, with 209 students expected this new academic year – 26 more than the previous year –building has become necessary.
Msgr. Alule said that the economic situation is affecting other seminaries in the east African country as well.
