Bishop Luwalira Calls for Obedience, Courage in Easter Message

Bishop Luwalira says that what is taking place in the world should show the Church that the pandemic is an issue of life and death and help everyone to faithfully follow guidelines issued to them by authorities for their own good and the good of others. Uganda has currently registered 53 cases of COVID-19 patients.

Rt. Rev Johnson Twinomujuni, the Bishop of West Ankole Diocese told our reporter that Rev. Mwebaze is being accused by of sexual misconduct by Christians of Kyabandara Church of Uganda in Sheema district.

Margret Anyinge, the Assistant Nursing Officer Kaberamaido Hospital, says the children were vaccinated against the six killer diseases. Twelve of the children were girls who were also vaccinated against the Human Papilloma Virus for protection against cervical cancer.

Rt. Rev. Sheldon Mwesigwa, the Diocesan Bishop says the donation was supposed to be given to inmates as it is the norm during the Easter festival, but due to the outbreak of the pandemic, they decided to donate to the vulnerable.

Harriet Aulo, the wife to Omolo, said they conduct routine prayers in the homes of their members, adding that it was their turn to do so this weekend. “Jesus never went to school and he has never fallen sick. That is why we don't take our children to school or hospital for immunisation. We also don’t take part in earthly programs because our lord does everything for us”, she said.

After his consecration and inauguration in July last year, Monsignor Serverus Jjumba says he was eager to fully celebrate his first Palm Sunday feast as a Bishop Masaka Catholic Diocese.

The Christian feast comes just a week before Easter, to commemorate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Over the years, Palm leaves have been used to simulate events in Jerusalem where Jesus’ path was covered in palm fronds before his arrest on Holy Thursday and his crucifixion on Good Friday.
