About Us
Brothers of Christian Instruction- Uganda 100 Years Of Existance in Uganda
Brothers of Christian Instruction Uganda and South Sudan is a province of FIC (Frères de l'Instruction Chrétienne) that was founded in France by Jean-Marie de La Mennais and Gabriel Deshayes in 1819 in Ploërmel, Brittany. Responding to the profound educational needs in the wake of the French Revolution, these visionary priests established a congregation dedicated to the Christian education of youth, especially the most disadvantaged. Rooted in the belief that education is the most powerful tool for human development and social transformation, the congregation grew rapidly, establishing schools throughout France and eventually expanding globally.

Dear Friends in Christ, Peace and blessings to you. We, the Brothers of Christian Instruction (F.I.C.) in Uganda, humbly carry forward a mission entrusted to us nearly two centuries ago. Our congregation was founded in 1819 in Ploërmel, France, by Venerable Jean-Marie de La Mennais and Venerable Gabriel Deshayes, with a singular focus: to provide Christian education, especially to the young and the marginalized.
In August, 1926, the first Brothers arrived at Kisubi, Uganda, answering the call of the local Church. Since then, generations of Brothers—both missionary and Ugandan—have quietly dedicated their lives to this vision. Together with lay collaborators, religious, and diocesan partners.
Our presence across Uganda is not our work alone. It is sustained by God’s grace, the resilience of Ugandan communities, and the dedication of countless teachers, parents, alumni, and benefactors. We are particularly grateful for the trust of families who welcome us to walk alongside their children.
Today, our mission continues to evolve. We strive to respond to new challenges—educational gaps, poverty, and the spiritual needs of young people—guided always by the Gospel and the charism of our founders.
In the spirit of humble service,
Br Casio Aizire, F.I.C.
Provincial Superior

What Our former Students Say!
Dr. James Kakooza.
Public Health Worker, ’92"At St. Mary’s Kisubi, I learned that excellence isn’t about grades alone. The Brothers taught us to see Christ in the sick and poor. That’s why I serve in rural clinics today."
Rev. Fr. John Paul.
Diocesan Priest, ’85"Brother Joseph Tinkasimire once told me, ‘Your hands are for lifting others, not applauding yourself.’ That lesson in humility shaped my priesthood."
Ms. Grace Nantume.
Teacher, ’07"I teach at a village school because the Brothers showed us education is sacred. They came early, stayed late, and never complained. We learned service by watching them."
Eng. David Lubega.
Infrastructure Developer, ’78"SMACK gave me discipline and faith. Now, when I build roads in hard-to-reach areas, I remember Brother’s words: ‘Serve where you’re needed, not where you’re celebrated.’"
Sr. Margaret Wabuyi.
Religious Sister, ’95"In chemistry class, Brother made us pray before experiments. He’d say, ‘Science serves God’s creation.’ That unity of faith and reason guides my community’s work with orphans."
Justice John Mike Musis
Lawyer"During the 1970's war, Brother Peter Kazzekulya and other Brothers moved with us to Buddo to seek refuge. They fed us, prayed with us, and taught us: ‘Courage is love in action.’ I carry that in peace-building now."
Ms. Sarah Tibasaga.
Social Entrepreneur, ’12"My Primary school teacher, Brother Mathias, recycled chalk stubs till they vanished. He showed us sustainability isn’t a slogan—it’s a holy habit. My business honors that spirit."
Mr. Joseph Kiruta.
Farmer & Youth Mentor, ’88"Brother Francis farmed with us after class. ‘Work is prayer,’ he’d smile. Today, I teach village youth organic farming—passing on the seed he planted in me."
Dr. Angela Nasasira.
Pediatrician, ’99"I treat malaria in children because the Brothers took us to rural clinics on weekends. They whispered, ‘The greatest is the servant.’ No degree matters more than that truth."
Mr. Denis Mugalu.
Motor Mechanic, ’10"St. John Paul II Technical School didn’t just give me skills. Brother Kagaba knelt beside me fixing engines, saying, ‘Dirty hands, clean heart.’ That’s my workshop motto today."
