Dr. Lawrence Ssemusu thanked Cardinal Wamala for appointing him to start the Catholic Chaplaincy at MUBS 20 years back which has registered great achievements notably on March 15th 2004 when the School accepted and allocated land to the Catholic Community which was blessed by Cardinal Wamala at the groundbreaking for the construction of the Chaplaincy.
In his remarks, Cardinal Wamala thanked the Catholic Community for being inspirational to the young generation especially their love and commitment to the Catholic Church before thanking God for the gift of life and service as a Cardinal.
