Celebration of Confirmation and blessing of a new chapel
There was a grand celebration last Sunday, February 8, at Galilée, a village located 35 Km from Bouar and 27 Km from Niem. The chapel of Galilée belongs to the Parish of Niem, whose Parish Priest is Fr. Arialdo Urbani SCJ.
The Christians of this village experienced two major events: first, the celebration of the sacrament of confirmation administered to a dozen of young people. Secondly, the blessing of a new chapel. The celebration was presided over by the Vicar General of the Diocese of Bouar, Fr Mireck, who administered the sacrament of Confirmation. While Fr Arialdo did the blessing of the new chapel.
In his homily Fr Mireck highlighted the importance for the Christian community to be united, in order to be a true witness of communion among the people belonging to other religions present in the village.
The celebration was also attended by the religious of the neighboring communities: the Capuchins and the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Franciscan Sisters).
The day ended with a meal.
