The father of Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Kato Lubega, Youth Chaplain of Our Lady of Grace Nandere Parish, Nicholas Lubega has died.

He was 83 years old.

Fr. Lubega broke the sorrowful news at 8:20 a.m. on Saturday morning through the Youth for Christ (Y4C) KLD TEAM WhatsApp platform, inviting the faithful to unite with him in prayer during this time of bereavement.

According to Fr. Lubega, his beloved father, the late Nicholas Lubega (Ssalongo), will be laid to rest on Monday, March 2, 2026.

The deceased was born on September 10, 1943.

“May the Good Lord grant him a peaceful rest,” Fr. Lubega wrote, entrusting his departed father to the infinite mercy of God.

Shortly thereafter, he shared the provisional burial arrangements as follows:
