Uganda Episcopal Conference
The Uganda Episcopal Conference or Episcopal Conference of Uganda is the local conference of Roman Catholic bishops in Uganda, established in 1960.
The UEC acts primarily through the Uganda Catholic Secretariat in an effort to promote and coordinate social and pastoral ministry of the Catholic Church of Uganda. This task is performed through twelve committees including the liturgical-pastoral, dedicated to the apostolate of the laity, the Board of justice and peace, as education and training of priests, and those on ecumenism and interreligious dialogue. The statutes of the Conference were approved by the Holy See on September 8, 1974.
The UEC is a member of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa and Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar.1969–1975: Emmanuel Kiwanuka Nsubuga, archbishop of Kampala
