Bukalango's gospel music star Masembe weds

RELATIONSHIP | MARRIAGE 

Richard Masembe, a popular Catholic Gospel artiste based at Mount Zion Prayer Centre, Bukalango, is now a married man.

The soul reggae-inclined crooner and pianist tied the knot with his long-time girl-friend, Judith Namusisi, at St Charles Lwanga Catholic parish church, Ggaba on Friday (December 11).

The function was presided over by Fr Robert Mayega, the headteacher of St John's SSS Nandere (an affiliate school of the Roman Catholic diocese of Kasana-Luweero).

Other Catholic clerics in attendance included Fr Ronnie Mubiru, Fr Francis Mukasa, Fr John Kennedy Kinsambwe (Masaka diocese), Fr Martin Ssemanda (Masaka diocese), Fr Woniara Peter Kyeyune Mubiru Nsubuga, Fr George William Ssentamu (aka Embooko ya Yezu) and Fr Stephen Tamale from Mont Zion Prayer Center Bukalango.

Masembe's music-tinted function was animated by his gospel ensemble, Masembe Praise Choir, which wowed the congregation with modern praise and worship songs that characterize contemporary Catholic Charismatic Renewal Divine Worship.

Subsequent to the Church function, the Masembes hosted their guests to a scientific reception at Sharing Hall, Nsambya, where a number of gospel and secular artistes and ensembles gave cabaret entertainment.

Fr Mayega congratulated the Masembes for their courageous decision of taking the Holy Sacrament of marriage.

He praised Masembe for his impactful gospel music ministry and also, his awesome moral disposition.

Mayega asked other agents of Evangelisation to emulate Masembe by living out what they minister.

He said it would look funny for a popular music minister like Masembe, to lead the singing of the Eucharistic songs during mass but when the priests approaches to distribute Holy Communion, he/she shies away.

Judith and Richard Masembe thanked the community of Mount Zion Prayer Centre Bukalango, and all their relatives and friends for their support and goodwill, to which they attributed the success of their wedding function.
