On the Catholic side, All Saints Choir from Christ the King Catholic Parish, Arua Diocese, took third place with an impressive 290 marks, bringing joy and spiritual uplift to the audience gathered at the Serena Conference Centre.

The grand finale of the #MartyrsChoralFestival, which drew hundreds of worshippers and music lovers, was a celebration of both faith and harmony. Featuring six elite choirs—three from the Catholic and three from the Anglican denominations—the event created a shared space of reverence, joy, and unity.

Msgr. Lawrence Ssemusu, speaking at the closing ceremony, praised the festival’s ecumenical spirit: “Vision Group, thank you so much for entertaining and organising this Choral Festival. This event brings us together as Catholics and Anglicans. The common denominator is Christ and the Martyrs. I salute you for this initiative.”

The festival was powered by an impressive lineup of sponsors, including Equity Bank Uganda, Centenary Bank, Pepsi Uganda, NSSF, URA, Parliament of Uganda, PPDA, and Kampala Serena Hotel.

As the choirs lifted their voices in worship and remembrance of the Uganda Martyrs, the event reaffirmed the power of sacred music to inspire, heal, and unite people from all walks of life.
