FUNERAL OF HON. HELEN NAKIMULI AT ST. NICHOLAS CATHEDRAL
Today's morning, the body of the deceased legislator, Hon. Helen Nakimuli, was received at St. Nicholas Cathedral, Namungoona, in a somber atmosphere, yet uplifted by hymns of resurrection. The funeral service was presided over by His Eminence Metropolitan Jeronymos Muzeeyi of Kampala, following the Divine Liturgy co-served by Fr. Nicholas Bayego, Fr. Andonios Mutyaba, Fr. Stelios Kasule and Fr. Christophoros Muyingo.
His Eminence was joined by Metropolitan Innocentios Byakatonda of Sozusa (caretaker of Mbarara), Bishop Nectarios Kabuye of Gulu, Bishop Constantine Mbonabingi of Juba, along with a number of priests from the Kampala Diocese.
Mourners from near and far gathered to pay their respects to the late Hon. Nakimuli. Parliamentarians were present, led by the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa, who served as the chief mourner. Dignitaries from the Buganda Government, religious leaders, and people from all walks of life attended the service.
In his sermon, Metropolitan Jeronymos said:
When you go through all her life, you can confirm that Hon. Helen Nakimuli discovered that Christ is the purpose of life. She loved her Orthodox faith, which is rooted in the Holy Scriptures and Holy Tradition. She knew very well of the resurrection of the dead and eternal life. She was too jolly, as everyone can testify, because she had Christ within her heart. She was politically tremendous, that is why her people of Kalangala re-elected her for the second term.
May her memory be eternal 🙏
