Fr.Ubald has been a Roman Catholic priest for over 35 years in the Cyangugu Diocese of southeastern Rwanda. 

During the 1994 genocide, Fr.Ubald lost over 80 members of his family and over 45,000 of his parishioners were exterminated. He escaped through the Congo on foot in the middle of the night. When he left Rwanda at that time he made a promise to his Bishop that he would return to bring healing to his people. He spent 3 months in Belgium during the genocide at which time he said that he cried every day. After a trip to Lourdes where he heard Jesus tell him “Ubald, carry your cross,” he felt a release from the burden of his sorrows and knew he was called to preach healing, forgiveness and reconciliation. 

Fr.Ubald has a beautiful healing gift and his focus is on healing and evangelization wherever he goes. There are many documented cases of physical healings, spiritual healings, healings in relationships and emotional healings through his prayers. It is not uncommon for him to do a healing service in his country where 10,000-60,000 people will be in attendance. 

The Government of Rwanda seeks him out for advice on forgiveness and reconciliation as the country continues to rebuild after the devastation of the genocide. He continues to preach healing, forgiveness and reconciliation in Rwanda, the Congo and Burundi. He has also traveled all over Europe, the Holy Land and other parts of Africa. He made his first trip to the United States in 2009, at the request of Immaculee’ Ilibagiza, another genocide survivor and author of “Left to Tell”, who currently resides in the US. 

We are extremely blessed to have Fr. Ubald coming to St. EAS while he is in the US. 

Doors will open at 4:30PM. 

A free will offering will be collected and go to Fr. Ubald’s ministry, THE CENTER FOR THE SECRET OF PEACE, and his continued work of healing and evangelization.
