Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala has today turned 92 years old.
Born on December 15, 1926 in Bikira parish in Masaka, Wamala attended Kalisizo primary school before joining Bukalasa seminary where he completed his school certificate. From here, he went to Katigondo major seminary and thereafter joined The Pontifical University in Rome, Italy, where he studied philosophy, according to a book about him authored by Robert Ssempa and launched on the same day.
Cardinal Wamala was ordained priest in Rome in December 1957, and later named by Pope John Paul II as the founding bishop of Kiyinda Mityana in 1958. He later became archbishop of Kampala archdiocese, replacing the late Emmanuel Cardinal Nsubuga.
The man of God retired from his position as Archbishop of Kampala in 2006.
Happy Birthday Cardinal Wamala
