Inside Chapel of Committo, where Masaka bishops eternally go to rest
February 8, 2021 Clerics at Bishop Kaggwa’s graveside
When the church announced on January 21, that Bishop John Baptist Kaggwa, the emeritus ordinary of Masaka, would be buried at Bukalasa seminary, many wondered why; the norms of the Catholic Church dictate that a bishop is buried in his cathedral.
Since two of Kaggwa’s predecessors – Henri Streicher (commonly known as Stenseera) and Adrian Kivumbi Ddungu – were buried in Villa Maria cathedral, there was a general thinking that he too would be buried in the same church due to its significance in the history of Catholicism in Uganda.
