Tuesday, June 30, 2015
Deacon Lwanga Gilingere Limingere was ordained priest on Sunday 28 June, 2015. The ordination ceremony took place in Wau Cathedral with the imposition of hands by the emeritus bishop Paride Taban, of Torit Diocese. Lwanga is originally from Deim Zubeir, parish of Raja, in the diocese of Wau, South Sudan. For his priestly ordination, Fr. Daniel Moschetti, the provincial superior in South Sudan, and Fr. Giorgetti Angelo, provincial superior of Egypt and Sudan, joined Fr. Lwanga’s family and friends and the Wau’s Christian community in the celebration. Fr. Lwanga has been assigned for his missionary work to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Lwanga Gilingere Limingere joined the Comboni Missionaries in Khartoum where he did his postulancy, the initial phase for those undergoing training for religious and priestly life.
After that, Lwanga did his noviciate in Lusaka, Zambia. That was a further step towards becoming a consecrated person and member of the Institute of the Comboni Missionaries. At the end of his novitiate, he took the temporary religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and was sent to Pietermaritzburg, in South Africa, to study theology and being trained for the priesthood.
After his formation in South Africa, Lwanga went back to his home country for two years of missionary service in Yirol’s Holy Cross Parish, in Lake State, South Sudan, where he professed his final religious vows in the Institute of the Comboni Missionaries on 31st December, 2014. Lwanga Gilingere was then ordained a Deacon on 1st January, 2015, by Bishop Rudolf Deng Majak of the Diocese of Wau.
