Ngboko Welcomes Delegates with Joy and Anticipation as Centenary Celebration Unfolds
By Baraka John
The arrival of His Lordship Bishop Edwardo Hiiboro, priests, reverence sisters, choirs, and other delegates in Ngboko marks the beginning of the celebration of 100 years of faith in the area. The historical significance of the cross installed in 1923 at the heart of the future mission adds depth to the occasion.
The delay in the centenary celebration due to insecurity in the area underscores the challenges faced by the community. Nevertheless, the rescheduled launch on December 9th, 2023, is a testament to the resilience and determination of the faithful.
The planned activities, such as healing the past, building mutual relationships, and fostering collaboration among all agents, indicate a holistic approach to the celebration. It seems like the community is not only commemorating the past but also looking forward to a future of unity and cooperation.
The warm welcome given by hundreds of faithful at Ngboko upon the delegates' arrival reflects the enthusiasm and anticipation surrounding the event. The expression of joy and unity among the community members suggests that this celebration goes beyond religious significance; it is a moment of communal bonding and shared history.
Wishing the Ave Maria Ngboko Parish a blessed and memorable centenary celebration, may the event bring about healing, unity, and strengthened faith for the community in South Sudan's Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio.
