The Uganda Martyrs Catholic Shrine at Namugongo has transformed over the years. Its expansion to accommodate thousands of pilgrims during celebrations, and provide a conducive atmosphere for prayer is remarkable.
Behind these works, and more that are ongoing is what the faithful remember about the late Archbishop of Kampala, Cyprian Kizito Lwanga.
They describe him as a hardworking servant of God who loved his calling and served humanity.
The Rev Fr Vincent Lubega, the Namugongo Catholic Parish priest, who worked closely with late Archbishop Lwanga in 2015, says the prelate spearheaded several projects that have transformed the shrine.
