Uganda Martyrs Prolife Apostolate was founded on the principle of Commitment to promoting a culture of life

The Founder
UMPA FOUNDER Archbishop Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga (19th-Jan-1953 to
3rd-Apr-2021)
He was installed Archbishop of Kampala on 30th-Sep-2006 and soon after embarked on starting
a Pro-life group in the Archdiocese because of his concern for the increasing number of
abortions and
the moral degeneration.
He wanted Pro-life to be a form of new evangelisation in his archdiocese reaching out to the
youth,
adults and agents of evangelization.
Activities of Uganda Martyrs Pro-life Apostolate finally kicked off in April 2008.
Archbishop Dr. Cyprian was very passionate about Pro-life and gave as much support as he could
to
ensure that it spreads to all corners of Kampala Archdiocese and beyond. Whenever he was meeting
a
group of Archdiocesan lay leaders, the clergy, the Religious, headteachers and other big
audiences,
he would invite a Pro-life member to address them or he would say something about Pro-life.
By the time of his death, UMPA activities had spread widely within the Archdiocese.
