The Archbishop Gulu, John Baptist Odama, has said preparations for the beatification of Italian Comboni missionary, Fr. Giuseppe Ambrosoli, who lived and worked in the Archdiocese of Gulu, are underway.
Archbishop John Baptist Odama told the ‘Vatican News’ KiSwahili Service that the Archdiocese of Gulu feels very blessed to have yet another Blessed in its midst.
The Archdiocese already has Blessed Jildo Irwa and Daudi Okello, the two are blessed martyrs of Gulu.
Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli is best remembered as a beloved priest, surgeon, philanthropist, and educator in the missions of Uganda.
He will be beatified on 20 November 2022 in the Archdiocese of Gulu but specifically in the parish of Kolongo where he lived and worked.
Archbishop Odama added that Fr. Ambrosoli lived a very simple life and handled people with God’s love. END
