NAMUGONGO – The Namugongo Martyrs Catholic Shrine was Friday evening filling to capacity as more  pilgrims arrived ahead of the Martyrs Day celebrations on Sunday.

The Archdiocese of Tororo are leading this year’s celebrations.

Files of marching pilgrims were on Friday seen trecking into the Shrine as Novena Masses went on inside the Basillica.

According to Fr. Alex Oketch, the chairman of the Publicity Committee, about 4.5 million pilgrims — both local and international,  are expected this year.

“We have so far received pilgrims from pilgrims from the USA, the UK, Malawi, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and our neighbours Kenya, Tanzania and DRC,” Fr. Oketch said on Friday.

On Thursday, more than 12,000 foot pilgrims from the  Archdiocese of Tororo arrived at Namugongo in a grand entry.

Several other foot pilgrims from all over Uganda have also arrived over the week.
