The Catholic Diocese of Torit together with relatives and friends were drowned into a weeklong mourning of diocesan priest, Fr. Leon Buga, who died on Tuesday at a hospital in Kampala, Uganda.
The death of Fr. Buga has deeply affected the Diocese of Torit, and the Catholic communities of Loa and Nimule.
Loa Parish priest, Fr. Julius Idda, told Radio Emmanuel that a requiem mass for Fr. Buga will take place today at Nimule Parish and tomorrow at Loa Parish, followed by his burial immediately after the mass.
The untimely death of Fr. Buga led to the postponement of Torit Diocesan Annual Assembly that started and was immediately adjourned last Tuesday.
