“I’m greatly humbled and honored to be appointed Archbishop. The clergy, myself and faithful have been praying fervently for the new Archbishop. I gather courage to take on this responsibility. I ask you to pray for me as I pray for you,” Bishop Ssemogerere said.

Ssemwogerere was born on 30th June, 1956 at Kisubi, in Wakiso and started his priesthood journey in 1976 when he became one of the seven pioneer students at St Mbaaga Seminary at Ggaba.

This was the first class of this seminary, which specializes in admitting men to train as priests when they are older than usual, and without attending minor seminary

In 1978, the late Cardinal Emmanuel Kiwanuka Nsubuga sent Ssemogerere to the Saint Francis de Sales Seminary, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the United States, where he graduated with a Master of Divinity degree in 1982.

On November 21, 1981, he was ordained a deacon by Archbishop Rembert George Weakland, the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
