At this spot, the Diocese of Lugazi where this place is situated constructed a monument as a way of remembering them.<\/p>\n<p>The prayers were held on Wednesday evening at Lwankima in Najjembe Sub-county in Buikwe District, near the Mabira Police Barracks on the Jinja-Kampala highway. The leader of the group, Mr Joseph Ominde, said they intend to approach authorities in Uganda to allocate them this piece of land so that they construct a small chapel that they will name after the two fallen pilgrims, who he believes will someday be beatified as martyrs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whats intention?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The intention is to ensure that people from here and Kenya make a stopover and pray for these young men who I should say died because of their faith,&#8221; said Mr Ominde.<\/p>\n<p>This group later after the prayers, proceeded to St. Kizito Catholic Parish in Lugazi where they a spent a night before continuing with their journey to Namugongo.<\/p>\n<p>Kenyans make the biggest contingent of foreign pilgrims who walk to Namugongo each year to celebrate the lives of the first Christian converts.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106030064.html\" title=\"Pilgrims From Kenya Remember Colleagues\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pilgrims From Kenya Remember Colleagues<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Herbert Mugagga 3 June 2011 A group of Kenyan pilgrims who were walking to Namugongo to take part in this year&#8217;s Martyr&#8217;s Day celebrations today, made a stopover in Mabira Forest, where they held prayers in remembrance of two of their colleagues who died at the same place in 2008. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-435113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
