This association was founded by the students from Kampala Ecclesiastical Province: this province is made up of students and staff members from Kampala Archdiocese, Kiyinda-Mityana Diocese, Kasana-Luwero Diocese, Masaka Diocese and Lugazi Diocese. It was started in 1993 in Kinyamasika seminary to bring together all the students who come from the above dioceses. Under normal circumstances, the club stage plays, in the Luganda language to the community of St. Paul’s and to the surrounding communities.
