Life in the parish
The Transfiguration celebration in Igagindugu, with a parish fellowship meal reported in August 2026.
The August 2026 mission report names the Church of the Transfiguration in Igagindugu and records a fellowship meal for its patronal feast.
Matthew 17:1–9 tells of Christ appearing in glory before Peter, James and John, with Moses and Elijah. The Father directs the disciples to listen to His Son. This Gospel event gives the parish’s name its meaning and is the subject of its patronal feast.
