Richard Ssenyondo and Lwegaba Raymond, two seminarians studying at Katigondo National Seminary have reached out to Campus Bee warning girls to stay away from them.
“We are going to become priests, so girls should keep a distance from us,” Ssenyondo told Campus Bee.
“We ask girls to stop convincing us to love them. They are only our sisters in Christ nothing should go beyond that, so they [girls] should keep that in mind when dealing with us,” he added.
Ssenyondo says that when they have mass in parishes or schools, girls always send them ‘lovie dovie’ chits. “Once a girl gets to know that you are a seminarian, she will make all tricks to get you. We are tired!,” the seemingly furious seminarian told this website.
