Cardinal Wamala tells Ugandans to leave a good legacy

The Emeritus Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese, Dr. Emmanuel Cardinal Wamala has urged Ugandans to leave a legacy which impacts on their societies and the people around them.

"Each one of us should ask themselves whether what we've done leaves a good name. We should aspire to be like Emmanuel Cardinal Nsubuga Kiwanuka, who built schools, institutions that serve many Ugandans to date," he said.

Preaching in the holy mass at Mapeera Bakateyamba's Home at Nalukolongo to celebrate 25 years since Emmanuel Cardinal Nsubuga's death, Cardinal Wamala called upon all priests and religious leaders especially those who are ordained and passed through institutions to emulate Cardinal Nsubuga, to make sure that they keep his name shining.

He added that Cardinal Nsubuga did many good things which kept his name on the lips of people, not only Ugandans and Catholics but all over the world.  
   
"Cardinal Nsubuga was loved by many people all over the world. Now 25 years since God called him, many catholic and non-Catholics are still flocking to his graveyard to pray for his soul. So grandchildren and relatives fight and keep Nsubuga's name," he added.
