Butiiti: A Dwelling Place of God in Africa

What if a place could carry more than structure… what if it could carry Gods presence?

Rising from the hills of western Uganda, Butiiti is more than a church. It is a story of faith carried across generations, of a people who built not only with hands but with conviction, and of a presence that continues beyond what can be seen.

Butiiti: A Dwelling Place of God in Africa invites you into a journey that begins long before the foundation was laid and continues long after the final stone was set. Through history, architecture, pilgrimage, and sacred encounter, this book reveals how a local parish becomes a global sign: how a place becomes a dwelling of God.

This is not simply a record of what was built. It is an invitation to encounter what remains. From the first seeds of faith in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Portal in Tooro Kingdom, Uganda to the emergence of one of East Africas most remarkable sanctuaries, Butiiti stands as a testimony to continuity, sacrifice, and divine presence.

You may arrive as a reader. But you will leave as one who has encountered God.
