Bishop Paul Ssemogerere has been installed as the fourth Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kampala. Bishop Ssemogerere was installed earlier today at St. Mary’s Cathedral Lubaga.
The journey to his installation started from the Dioceses of Kasana-Luweero where he was seen off by hundreds of believers who handed him over to Kampala Archdiocese at Matugga. His convoy later made its way to St. Mary’s Cathedral Lubaga.
Function kicked off with him standing at the inner doors of the cathedral, he knocked and he was welcomed by the representative of the Pope in Uganda, The Most Rev. Luigi Bianco and other Catholic Bishops.
On December 9th, 2021, Pope Francis appointed the Kasana Luwero Bishop to take over Kampala Archdiocese.
Addressing a joint press conference at Lubaga cathedral this afternoon, Fr Pius Male, the Chancellor of the Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala says the celebrations will commence at 10 am at the cathedral.
Fr Male says the Bishop will lead a procession from his Kasana Luwero diocese and then he will be officially welcomed by the Kampala Archdiocese team at Lubigi at Lumasi River.
Meanwhile, the Kampala Metropolitan traffic police commander Rogers Nsereko has issued traffic guidelines for the celebrations indicating that only invited guests with red stickers will have access to the cathedral.
Nsereko meanwhile says there will be traffic disruptions along roads leading to Rubaga cathedral apart from Wakaliga road.
He has advised motorists from Nateete and Nalukolongo to use alternative routes like Ndeeba and avoid areas of Lubaga and Kabusu.
