{{Pope wrote an official communication to the President of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and to the Country’s Episcopal Conference Secretariat saying he would not travel to Uganda because of having a busy week.}}
Monsignor John Baptist Kauta, the secretary to the Uganda Episcopal Conference noted that Pope would be busy with the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of the Bishops on the Pastoral under the theme ‘Challenges to the Family in the Context of Evangelization’ scheduled to be held in October in Rome.
In Uganda, the Episcopal Conference last week also postponed the national celebrations that are being organised to mark the Golden Jubilee of the 22 Uganda Martyrs since canonization.
The occasion had been originally scheduled to be held in October this year, a period that coincided with the Pope’s Synod.
