The diocese sold her prime land in Bukoto to salvage the church house and when it came to Love Gift, you contributed generously,” Kaziimba said.
The Archbishop also reminded the members about the retirement of the Assistant bishop, Rt. Rev Dr. Hannington Mutebi which is at the end of this year and requested parishes to offer him a befitting farewell but also pray for the process of choosing his replacement.
