The image and the sanctuary

It does not contain the most precise Marian advocation (Immaculate Conception, Asunción or another); in the current sources it is designated only as Saint Mary. No picture description.

Sponsorship and coronation

It is not available.

Party and devotion

By its generic Marian title, the cathedral celebrates the great solemnities of the Virgin of the universal calendar. The local chronicles highlight the constant influx of the faithful and the veneration of the Virgin, especially in Marian celebrations such as the Immaculate and the Annunciation; no formally recognized miracles are noted.

Link to the Rosary

The consecration of the former place of political power to St. Mary makes Rubaga a sign of the lordship of Christ and his Mother over the people. The Rosary accompanies Marian parties and the daily prayer of the faithful. To pray before the headline is to contemplate the mysteries of the Lord from the hand of Mary.

A flower for the Virgin

It offers a simple prayer to this advocation. Pray a Hail Mary for Uganda and for world peace.

Pray Hail Mary
