On early Saturday morning I left for Bouar and the Pastoral Session of the Diocese. Sunday was Mission Sunday, all over the world.
In Bouar, the Bishop concluded the Pastoral Session with a great celebration. During the Mass, he consecrated the whole diocese to the Infant Jesus of Prague, represented by a cloak and royal insignia, as an Emperor.
Here in Bozoum, however, we moved to one of the 3 chapels of the city, that of Santa Teresa d’Avila. Her feast was on the 15th, but we celebrated it today, together with the Christians who live in this area. Thank God it didn't rain a lot so we could cross the river together, with a lot of people.
Sunday afternoon I set off for Baoro, and then Bangui. Here we are starting the preparatory work for the construction of a new convent. The project is now ready, and in these upcoming days surveys are being carried out for this construction site.
I received great news: Caritas of Bouar has a sponsor! This is the men's team (in A2) of Cuneo Volley! Here's what a friend wrote to me:
“With the away match in Bergamo, Cuneo's path in the men's A2 volleyball series began. This season on the game jersey of the Cuneo club (formerly "Campione d'Italia" in the 2009/2010 season) stands out (among other partners) "Caritas Centrafrique - Diocése de Bouar" with which Cuneo has started a crowdfunding project for the construction of a house for one of the poorest families in Bozoum. "
I returned from Bangui on Tuesday evening, and the following day we had the visit of the new superior of the Carmelites in Central Africa, Fr Federico Trinchero. The new community of Bozoum is beginning to take shape, which will be composed of Fr. Norberto Pozzi, Fr Matteo Pesce and Fr Marco Poggi.
In these upcoming days Mario and Luigina are also with us, a couple from Pegognaga (Mn) who work (a lot and well) for our Missions. Mario, among other things, is working on a large gate for the Kpari chapel, while Luigina helps us, with cooking and sewing.
