On December 16, 1996, as Kampala Archdiocese priests numbering about 150 were having a picnic and enjoying the cool breeze of Lake Victoria at Nabinoonya Beach, Kisubi, then Archbishop of Kampala Emmanuel Cardinal Wamala made a very important announcement.
He revealed that Pope John Paul II had decided to reduce the size of the vast Kampala Archdiocese, carving out two new dioceses of Lugazi and Kasana-Luweero.
The pope had also appointed auxiliary Bishop Mathias Ssekamaanya to head the new diocese of Lugazi, while the cardinal’s private secretary, Msgr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, had been elevated to a bishop and chosen to take over at Kasana-Luweero.
