The Catholic Men Association (CMA) at St. Charles Lwanga Catholic Parish – Muyeye is a fellowship of Catholic men committed to growing in faith, supporting one another, and serving both the Church and society. The parish source documents present the CMA as an important ministry through which men take an active role in spiritual formation, Christian responsibility, and the practical life of the parish.
As a parish group, the CMA helps men to deepen their relationship with God while also strengthening their vocation within family life, community life, and the wider mission of the Church. In this way, the CMA is not only an organization, but also a path of formation, fraternity, and service for Catholic men of the parish.

The CMA in Parish Life
Within the life of St. Charles Lwanga Parish, the CMA forms part of the wider network of ministries and groups that help keep parish life vibrant, inclusive, and mission-oriented. The attached sources show that the parish values ministries that combine faith formation with practical contribution, and the CMA is one of the groups through which men participate actively in building up the parish community.
The parish history materials also note that the Catholic Men Association was among the key ministries launched locally during the early growth of the parish. This places the CMA within the foundational story of the parish’s development and highlights its importance in the life of the community.
