Tribute to Bishop Kakubi

Born on 23rd September 1929 in Burunduma Parish to Mr. Rafaili Ziridamu and Kandida Kiremire, Rt. Rev. John Baptist Kakubi’s journey began humbly but destined for greatness. His life was marked by a profound commitment to faith and service. After his ordination as a priest on 11th July 1960, he went on to dedicate his life to the church and its mission.

In 1969, at the age of 40, he was consecrated as Bishop of Mbarara Diocese on 1st August, a significant moment in his life. The Principal Consecrator, none other than Pope Paul VI, stood as a testament to the importance of this event in both his life and the history of the Church in Uganda. As the first African Bishop of Mbarara Diocese, he succeeded Bishop Ogez and led the Diocese with unwavering strength and devotion until his retirement on 23rd November 1991.

During his years of service, Bishop Kakubi became known not only for his spiritual guidance but also for his pioneering efforts in establishing Vocational Catholic schools. His vision for education and the future of Uganda’s youth was instrumental in shaping the direction of vocational training in the region. His legacy lives on in the institutions he helped to develop, such as the St. Joseph’s Vocations School, where he was laid to rest after passing away on 11th February 2016 at the age of 86.

Through the years of war and political unrest, Bishop Kakubi was a steady presence, always standing with his people, providing solace, guidance, and leadership during times of hardship. His deep empathy and commitment to his people made him a revered figure not just within the Church but across the community he served. He spent 55 years as a priest in the Archdiocese of Mbarara and 46 years as a bishop, dedicating his life to service, and leaving a profound impact on all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Bishop Kakubi’s story is one of faith, courage, and dedication. His legacy endures not just in the institutions he founded, but in the hearts of all those he served and guided throughout his remarkable life.

At Saint Joseph’s Vocational School, Mbarara, our staff stands as the backbone of our institution’s remarkable reputation. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a community where faith, education, and skill development come together to shape the future of our students.

As a Catholic-founded, boys-only senior secondary school, we take pride in our unique approach to education, combining traditional academic excellence with vocational training in Agriculture, Carpentry, Woodwork, and Building Construction. Our staff, from the committed teachers to the diligent support personnel, play an integral role in delivering this well-rounded education, ensuring that our students are not only academically equipped but also practically skilled to face the world with confidence.

The dedication of our staff is evident in every aspect of school life. Their efforts go beyond the classroom, fostering an environment where our boys can thrive spiritually, intellectually, and morally. They are more than educators; they are role models who embody the values of our Catholic heritage, guiding students to grow into responsible, faith-filled men who are ready to contribute positively to society.

We are deeply grateful for the tireless commitment and passion our staff brings to Saint Joseph’s Vocational School, Mbarara.

Dietary Patterns:

- Our boys enjoy Porridge in the morning and black tea in the evening.

Nutritional Considerations:
- The nutritional content of school meals is an important consideration. Balanced diets with essential nutrients are crucial for the growth and development of students.

To be admitted at St. Joseph's, a student must have successfully completed PLE (Primary Leaving Examination) to qualify for Lower/Ordinary Level entry or UCE (Uganda Certificate of Education). To qualify for Higher Level entry or UACE (Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education), a student must have successfully completed UCE.

Admission Information

Our institution is an exclusively male secondary school, thus prospective students must be male to become part of our community.
We are a catholic church-founded school, therefore students who join us must be Catholics.
To gain admission to S1, candidates are required to successfully complete interviews conducted at the school towards the conclusion of each academic year. Typically, P7 candidates have completed their P.L.E examinations by this juncture.
Application forms for interviews can be obtained from designated parishes when we announce vacancies through our website, parish networks, and other public platforms. Alternatively, forms are also available for pickup at the school.
Students who were unable to participate in the S1 entrance interviews, particularly those residing outside the designated parishes in our catchment areas of Mbarara, Ntungamo, Bushenyi, Ibanda, and Isingiro, are also eligible to enroll in our school. However, admission requires a minimum passing of Grade One.
To be Admitted in S5, one must have sat for and passed U.C.E examinations. To attain a combination of desired subjects, the candidate must have passed each subject with at least credit 4 (C4). It is important to highlight that failure to attain at least a credit 4 (C4) in a specific subject may impact the ability to fulfill the desired combination.
We also admit students in other classes where vacancies are available excluding candidate classes.
Students joining us must be aware that we're a very competitive institution and highly keen on discipline and religion, a student who falls out of line may be asked to leave us.
