A Ugandan archbishop who died suddenly on Holy Saturday has been remembered as a loving and dedicated leader at a recent Mass in Sydney.
Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga of Kampala, was found dead in his room on 3 April, in a shock to the East African nation and its diaspora. Questions immediately multiplied around his death. Both before and after January elections in his country, Archbishop Lwanga expressed fears for his life.
