Hundreds of people from Masindi district and beyond are thronging a hill in Rwensa cell, Nyangahya division, Masindi district to have a look at what is believed to be the Blessed Mother Mary who is said to have appeared there.

The Blessed Mother Mary is reported to have been seen first by a man who was grazing cows near the hill last evening who later informed others, triggering the mass movement to the area.

One of the women who went to the area first reportedly got possessed by the Holy Spirit who ordered her  to inform one Francis Ogenmungu, a catholic from Kabalye cell, Karujubu division, Masindi who  had  reportedly been praying to the Blessed Mary since August this year.

Ogenmungu, who was also at the site, told BBS FM that he easily believed the woman’s words  since he had been praying for the Blessed Mary’s intervention and he went with his area catechist  to the site.

Ogenmuntu added that he immediately saw the Blessed Mother in a dark cloud dressed in shining colors with a white veil on her head.

John Kiiza, a teacher at Green Field Secondary school in Masindi municipality who was also at the site, also confessed to having seen the Blessed Mary.

Christine Akumu, a resident of Kabalye 1 Cell in Karujubu division also confessed to have seen the Blessed Mary saying she first saw a round bright light before the image of the Blessed Mary appeared.

Believers were praying and singing worship songs in the area at the time of filing this story.

However, Reverend Father Joseph Birungi, the Episcopal Vicar Masindi Vicariate said he was planning to visit the ground to ascertain the situation and later report to the diocese.
