EMMANUEL Cardinal Wamala has directed Catholics to contribute money to aid their counterparts in Israel.
He instructed that the money collected for offertory during the Good Friday service of the veneration of the cross be set aside for the cause.
“Our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land are suffering. The Jews, as well as the Palestinians persecute them. They need our help,†he pleaded.
Wamala, who made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land last year, asked priests in the archdiocese of Kampala to urge Catholics in their parishes to donate money. The archdiocese has 47 parishes, the majority of which are in urban areas.
Wamala was preaching on Holy Thursday, at a service for the commemoration of the institution of the priesthood.
He consecrated olive oil on priests to administer sacraments.
