“On this occasion the Apostolic Nunciature desires to congratulate Msgr. Mpanga with the prayerful best wishes for his new responsibility,” Archbishop Bianco announced on Thursday, 03 February 2022.
He will now steer the Diocese until the Pontiff appoints an Apostolic Administrator or a new Bishop to replace Paul Ssemogerere.
