Hume Koda Bee and Hume Koda Bera also known as Diocesan Family Day is an initiative initiated to support the development of the Catholic Diocese of Tombura Yambio (CDTY) and to help the bishop in his pastoral ministries.
According to Fr. Charles Mbikoyo, the Parish Priest of Riimenze Parish, the Christians of Riimenze are embracing the initiative gradually. He explained that last Sunday he was at Bodo Center fundraising for a concrete shelter for prayers and Christians supported the idea.
In an online interview with Fr. Elia Kanido Alfred Zomai, the Administrator of Hume Koda Bee-Bera noted that as a committee, they have a jam-packed program planned for the annual family day.
“This year, we are sending our representatives to different parishes two by two to different deaneries to explain to our Christians the importance of the power of contributing with heart and mind”.
This year the initiative is asking for the support of; Lectionaries, Prayer books, Catechism of the Catholic Church, Rites for celebrating Sacrament, Certificates for the Sacraments/Baptismal Cards, and Hymnals/songs books.
The diocese has invited all Christians and people of goodwill to come and support the CDTY and the celebration is set to be on 14th, September 2023, at St. Mary Mother of God Catholic Parish, Yambio.
