“A place of testimony, healing, prayer, and transformation for believers across East Africa and beyond”
Emmaus Centre — Uganda's National Catholic Charismatic Renewal Centre
Emmaus Centre is a Catholic Charismatic community and formation hub nestled in Butanza, Luwero District. Founded on the charism of renewal, we walk alongside pilgrims — just as Christ walked with the disciples on the road to Emmaus — offering retreats, discipleship formation, education, and pastoral care.
Our community is home to the Emmaus Covenant Community, St. Mary’s Hospital, Emmaus Primary School, and the Institute of Discipleship — each entity serving a distinct dimension of human flourishing: spiritual, physical, academic, and missional.
