The mass is led by Kampala Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga. The First Deputy Prime Minister Gen Moses Ali, the Chief Justice Bart Katureebe, Ms Justine Lumumba, the Secretary general of the ruling National Resistance Movement and her predecessor John Patrick Amama Mbabazi and several Cabinet Ministers are some of the officials attending the mass.
