In the quaint of St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic Parish, the air was filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement. The community gathered on Sunday 23rd July 2023, to witness a momentous occasion- the installation of their new Episcopal Vicar, Fr. Tombe Charles. The event marked a new chapter in the spiritual journey of the Central Deanery, and Christians were eager to welcome their new spiritual leader.
In his homily, Fr. Benjamin Wasi, the Episcopal Vicar for Clergy and Religious who presided over the occasion praised the deanery for its unwavering faith and emphasized the importance of a shared journey, serving a patient and compassionate God who gives us time to convert and repent from our sinful act.
Fr. Wasi further added, “Let us avoid being judgmental to our brothers and sisters because we are all sinners who need God's forgiveness and mercy, let us correct and help our weak and sinful brothers and sisters through a good example and avoid criticizing them because God wants the bad and good to live together so that bad can have time to convert to God”.
The celebration was attended by priests and other representatives from the parishes under Central Deanery.
