Pope Francis returns to Uganda next year

Isn’t the Catholic community in Uganda so blessed? Pope Francis will be visiting Uganda for the second time next year!

The Pope waves to believers at Namugongo in 2015.

The Archbishop of Kampala diocese Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga has officially announced that Pope Francis is scheduled to return to Uganda next year in July.

Dr Lwanga says the pontiff will be attending the conference for all African bishops which will take place in Uganda where over 500 bishops from across African continent and Madagascar island will be in attendance.

Pope Francis was in Uganda for a three-day official visit in November 2015. He was the third pontiff to visit Uganda after Pope Paul VI in July 1969 and Pope John Paul II in February 1993.
