The priests have been doing a lot in celebrating the year of the priests for example by celebrating the year in every parish and saying mass to the parishes which don’t have any priest who is born from that parish. Also the priests have gone to Uganda (Namugongo) for prayers. This has helped them to strengthen and nourish their faith and know that the community is in need of them.  The climax of the year of the priests will be on 19th June when we will be having the ordination of two deacons to priesthood at our Lady of Africa Cathedral.
