Our Lady of the Rosary – Nabitalo Sub-Parish
About the Sub-ParisH
Our Lady of the Rosary Nabitalo Sub-Parish was established in 1927, during the missionary era of the White Fathers, after it was separated from Balita Sub-Parish. The sub-parish sits on approximately one acre of land and has since grown into a vibrant Catholic community.
Within the sub-parish compound, there are two schools that support the education and spiritual nurturing of our children:
- St. Kizito Primary School
- St. Bruno Secondary School
In 2007, Nabitalo Sub-Parish became independent from Gayaza Parish, marking a significant milestone in its spiritual journey and development.
