Over 3 million pilgrims are expected in Namugongo at both Catholic and Anglican Shrines by Saturday, June 3, 2023.
Already settled in at one of the Shrines is Catherine Ninsiima, 10.
She spoke to Daily Monitor about why she walked to Namugongo.
“This is my first time walking to Namugongo. My aim of walking is to pray for God’s blessings so that my mum can find fees for us since dad walked away on us when i was 9 years old, I pray that my father gets the spirit of coming back home since we are all missing him,” Ninsiima said.
