Catholic Church mourns Nalongo Ntwatwa

The Vicar General of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Kampala, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Charles Kasibante has spoken highly of the late Nalongo Teresa Nakajiri Ntwatwa, describing her as a deeply devoted Christian, who lived out the values and the Catholic faith and also passed them over to her children and grandchildren.

He praised the deceased for her responsible parenting, which he said, is clearly projected by the deep religious devotion and professionalism of her children.
