Gabriel Joseph Ssenkindo
I am Gabriel Joseph Ssenkindo, a Benedictine monk of Christ the King Priory, Tororo-Uganda. I arrived at Saint John s Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota in the Fall of 1997. Having completed an MA program, majoring in Monastic studies, at the School of Theology and Seminary (SOT/Sem), I returned to Tororo-Uganda in the Winter of 2000.
Because of the formation and training at the SOT/Sem, my community entrusted me with various responsibilities from when I returned to now. I have served as Novicemaster (Director of Formation) in my community and our Benedictine community in Kenya, Associate Pastor and Pastor of St. Teresa s Parish in the Archdiocese of Tororo, Subprior, Administrator of the Benedictine Eye Hospital, Chaplain at a Girls High School to over 500 Catholic students, and as a member of the Board of governors of the Benedictine Eye Hospital.
