Believers, particularly from the Catholic faith, are reportedly flocking to Rwensa Hill in Nyangahya Sub-county, Masindi District, following reports of an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Alleged visionaries claim that the Mother of Jesus urged cohabiting couples to sanctify their unions in Holy Matrimony, calling for repentance and prayers for the nation.
The Hoima Catholic Diocese has advised caution, as the Church carefully discerns the authenticity of these reported visions, according to the Diocese’s Communications Director, Rev. Fr. Patrick Museveni.
He is quoted by the Media to have said that if evidence from Masindi Vicariate aligns with these reports, the Bishop could forward a request to the Papal Nuncio, who would present it to the Pope to consider declaring Rwensa Hill a pilgrimage site.
So far, the only Vatican-recognized Marian apparition in Africa is Our Lady of Kibeho in Rwanda, who appeared from 1981 to 1989.
Rumors of the Virgin Mary’s appearance began circulating three weeks ago with Mr. Amon Guzima, Rwensa Village’s chairman, believed to be the first to witness the apparition while herding cattle. END
