Key moments in the Church\u2019s calendar remind us in a special way to pray for the dead, most notably the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls\u2019 Day)<\/strong> on 2nd November each year. During this time, the Church invites all the faithful to offer Masses, prayers, and sacrifices for the souls in purgatory. Additionally, anniversaries of death, funeral memorials, and parish remembrance days provide opportunities for families and communities to gather in prayer, reflect on the lives of the departed, and renew hope in the resurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Diocese remembers with gratitude the life and priestly ministry of Rev. Fr. Mukasa<\/strong>, who faithfully served the Church, notably as Vice Rector of St. Joseph\u2019s Seminary, Nyenga<\/strong>. During his time at the seminary, he played a vital role in the formation of future priests<\/strong>, Emmanuel\u00a0guiding seminarians with dedication, wisdom, and a deep commitment to spiritual and academic excellence. His service contributed significantly to nurturing vocations and strengthening the foundation of priestly life in the Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rev. Fr. Mukasa will be remembered for his humility, pastoral zeal, and unwavering devotion to God\u2019s people. His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched\u2014especially the priests he helped form\u2014who continue to serve the Church today. As a Diocese, we commend his soul to the mercy of God and invite all the faithful to pray for his eternal rest: \u201cEternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rev. Fr.
