ST. JOSEPH’S VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

At the peak of Nyamitanga Hill, over looking the Administrative Capital of the former Ankole Kingdom, the hill of the Kamukuzi and many other surrounding hills, is located St. Joseph’s Vocational school. The school being a special diocesan institution recruits young men from within Mbarara Archdiocese. They all must be catholic from practicing good catholic families. The students are expected to be God fearing, disciplined and hardworking young people from whom responsible Christian leaders can be nurtured.

"Staying on St. Joseph’s is fun. Looking at young boys join the school and go out near adults is a very enjoyable experience. If an opportunity ever avails itself, visit St. Josephs and share the joy of staying with us!"

Rev. Fr. Ben Njunwoha
