The Catholic Church will develop Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli shrine into a world tourism site.
Fr. Dr. Giuseppe Ambrosoli will be beatified from Christ the King Parish in Kalongo, Agago district on November, 22nd, 2022.
In the Catholic Church, beatification is the act of determining and proclaiming that a deceased person is one of ‘’the blessed,’’ or has gained the second degree of holiness.
The program for the beatification was officially launched by Archbishop John Baptist Odama of Gulu Archdiocese over the weekend from Cathedral Parish in Gulu City.
Archbishop Odama described the beatification as a great blessing not only for Gulu Archdiocese and Uganda but for the whole Catholic Church, noting that the saints are friends of God who can be approached by anybody seeking intercession.
Quoting the Supreme Pontiff Pope Francis, Archbishop Odama explained that the beatification is an important event and gift to Uganda, noting that the shrine will serve as a world tourism destination drawing believers, faithful and people from different walks of life. END
