Congratulatory message to Rev. Fr Emmanuel Bernadino, bishop-elect of the Catholic Diocese of Torit
Dear Father,
On behalf of the Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio, I would like to congratulate you on being elected as bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Torit.
We are confident that your spiritual leadership will promote the endeavors of the Church in Eastern Equatoria with so much to desire, its mission work, and pastoral contributions. We believe that your role as a church leader will be able to guide congregations and churches in your state and beyond for just and peaceful societies, with positive participation of youth, women, and men.
We hope for the continuation of fruitful collaborations with the diocese of Torit and Tombura-Yambio (a vision we enacted with the Late Bishop Akio of priest’s exchanges) under your leadership, strengthening our diocesan relations which span a number of years.
The church remains grateful to the tremendous work of the Emeritus Bishop Paride, Bishop johnson Mutek Akio, Archbishop Ameyu, Mons Thomas Oliha, plus all the priests and religious, catechists and faithful!
While we admire your contributions as a church in the Archdiocese of Khartoum, I especially would like to offer my heartfelt prayers for you, I pray that when you take up this new role, God’s empowering love, wisdom, and unity will surround you, as you serve communities and deal with the challenges that church in Eastern Equatoria have to address. Congratulations!
