Our story
About Us
The Brothers of St.Joseph the Worker were founded in Fort Portal Diocese in 1973 by the late Bishop Serapio Bwemi Magambo (1928-1995). Bishop Magambo had a special love and affection for religious Brothers. A special relationship with The Brothers began as a primary student in Wekomiire Parish, where he enjoyed the company of Brother Marsiale,a Missionary of Africa. He later came to know and appreciate the Brothers of Christian Instruction at St.Leo’s College Kyegobe, when he was appointed chaplain there.
