Sabiti taught in a primary school before being ordained deacon in 1933 and priest in 1934. After 26 years of serving the church in Uganda, he was consecrated Bishop of Rwenzori and Dean in 1960.[5]

In 1966, he became the first Ugandan Archbishop.[6]

He became the first Bishop of Kampala in 1972 and served for two years until his retirement in 1974.[7]

Sabiti died in Kinoni, Uganda, on May 15 1988.[3]
