Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Rt. Rev. Dr Edward Albert Baharagate, the retired Bishop of Hoima catholic diocese who died last week, will be laid to rest today (Wednesday) in Hoima City.<\/p>\n

According to a burial program released by the Chancellor of Hoima Diocese, Rev. Fr. Dominic Ndugwa, the late Bishop will be buried at Bujumbura episcopal mausoleum.<\/p>\n

The Mausoleum is located at Bujumbura Cathedral. Bishop Baharagate will become the second Bishop to be buried at the cathedral.<\/p>\n

The first was Bishop Deogratias Muganwa Byabazaire who died on February 8, 2014.<\/p>\n

Bishop Baharagate died on April 5 at Nsambya Hospital in Kampala where he had been admitted.<\/p>\n

The burial program for Bishop Baharagate started with a requiem mass at Lubaga Cathedral on Easter Monday which was attended by various dignitaries.<\/p>\n

After the mass, the body was transported by road to his home district in Masindi where a requiem mass and vigil was held at Nyamigisa catholic parish.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday Bishop Baharagate\u2019s body was transported from Masindi district to Hoima City, where the seat of the Hoima diocese is located.<\/p>\n

The body arrived in the city at about 4pm in a motorcade and several Christians lined up on streets to catch a glimpse of the casket carrying the remains of the late Bishop as a brass band played funeral songs in honour of the fallen prelate.<\/p>\n

Rt. Rev. Vincent Kirabo Amooti, the Bishop of Hoima diocese received the body at Bujumbura cathedral in the presence of several priests, leaders and hundreds of Christians.<\/p>\n

Bishop Kirabo led prayers outside the church before the body was taken inside the cathedral.\u201cThe late Bishop was a loving shepherd of God who preached the gospel and cared for all categories of people,” Bishop Kirabo told the mourning congregation.<\/p>\n

He said the late Baharagate gave him words of wisdom and guidance when he assumed the office of Bishop.<\/p>\n

He applauded all people and institutions that supported the church in various ways following the demise of the Bishop.<\/p>\n

Rt. Rev. Samuel Kahuma Abwooli, the Bishop of Bunyoro-Kitara diocese who also attended the requiem mass commended the late Baharagate for promoting sports.\u201cHe was a great sportsman who inspired many people to embrace football and he was a great timekeeper,\u201d Bishop Kahuma said.<\/p>\n

According to a burial program signed by Fr. Ndugwa, the diocesan chancellor, the funeral mass will be led by Rt. Rev. Vincent Kirabo Amooti, the Bishop of Hoima Diocese.<\/p>\n

After mass, there will be funeral commendation and committal at Bujumbura episcopal mausoleum.<\/p>\n

President Museveni is expected to be the Chief mourner at the burial ceremony.<\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/p>\n

Baharagate had been living with the Christians of Nakulabye parish for the last 20-25 years.<\/p>\n

The late bishop emeritus was ordained a priest on December 7, 1958.<\/p>\n

He was appointed Bishop of Hoima on July 7, 1969 and was consecrated bishop at Hoima on August 1, 1969 by Pope Paul VI.<\/p>\n

On March 9, 1991, Baharagate resigned as Bishop of Hoima and was replaced by Bishop Deogratius Byabazaire who has also since passed on.<\/p>\n

Last year, he launched an environmental conservation campaign aiming at improving on humanity.<\/p>\n

He was visited by President Museveni at St. Jude Catholic parish in Masindi town when the President visited Masindi District to commission a five-star hotel and Radio Seven.<\/p>\n
