Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The call for forgiveness and repentance dominated the end of year prayers at St Mary’s Cathedral Lubaga in Kampala.

The mass was led by Father Anthony Musaala, the assistant administrator Lubaga Cathedral and assisted by Chancellor Father Charles Male.

Father Musaala who took the hundreds of Christians through singing and prayers asked for God’s forgiveness which he said was the best way to usher in the New Year. He prayed that the Christians put aside the challenges they faced in 2021 and live a joyful and Godly life in the new year.
