Pope
Francis’ plane arrives in Uganda
(Vatican
Radio) Pope Francis arrived in Uganda on Friday on the second leg of his 6-day
pastoral visit to Africa. During his 2-day stay in the Ugandan capital Kampala,
the Pope will visit the Anglican and Catholic shrines of the nation’s Namugongo
martyrs and celebrate a Mass in their honour. The 45 martyrs (23 Anglicans and
22 Catholics) were killed during the persecution of Christians in the region
from 1885-1887. The Pope’s other engagements in Kampala include a
courtesy visit to Uganda's President plus a series of meetings with diplomats,
catechists and teachers, young people, bishops, religious and seminarians as
well as a visit to a Catholic Care Home for poor and destitute
people.
