Today we commemorate two Uganda Martyrs; Blessed Daudi Okelo and Jildo Irwa.
The martyrdom of these two young catechists [from Uganda] is very meaningful for the current events the country is going through. It is a matter, first of all, of two young lay catechists who together carried out and remained faithful to their assignment to spread the Gospel by words and deeds. Furthermore, by courageously accepting to move to a place outside the influence of their own ethnic clan, they have become in their environment a sign of the catholicity and unity of the Church. Finally, having lived during a period of tribal fights, colonial interests and still flourishing domestic slavery, they represent the integrity of a Gospel that always protects and safeguards personal dignity and promotes peace among peoples, ethnic groups and cultures. For this, even today they are remembered in their land as Christ's true "witnesses by blood".
Pray for us!

NOTICES FOR THIS WEEK
On Mission Sunday, 18 October 1964, (56 years ago) the twenty two Catholic Martyrs of Uganda were solemnly proclaimed Saints by Pope Paul VI in St. Peterβs Basilica, Vatican.
The impressive ceremony with its age-old rites and traditional pomp and pageantry was rendered even more colourful and spectacular than usual by the presence of the vast majority of the Cardinals, Patriarchs, Archbishops and Bishops of the Catholic Church, gathered in Rome for the Second Vatican Council. Also present were representatives of the Government of Uganda, the Kabaka of Buganda and other countries, and also over two hundred clergy, religious and lay people from the land of the martyrs.
Our Basilica in Munyonyo, Kampala was built as thanksgiving for the canonization on the 50th anniversary with the cornerstone placed by Pope Francis during his first apostolic journey to Africa in 2015.
Now our Basilica under CCTV. Thanks to GULF Systems
