One bishop comes, another goes.
June 14, 2026
Mgr. Aguirre left Bangassou on Friday, and I accompanied him to Bangui airport, where he departed for Spain.
I came to Bangui for two major events: the priestly ordination of two young Carmelites and the consecration of a new coadjutor bishop in Bangui. I flew down Thursday afternoon.
On Saturday, in the parish of Our Lady of Africa in Bangui, I ordained two young men, Aristide and Leonce.
Aristide was originally from Bangassou and was in Bangui studying to become a nurse when he encountered the Carmel.
Léonce, on the other hand, was born in Congo to parents who had fled Rwanda. Then the ways of the Lord brought him to Central Africa, and today, Saturday, June 13, he became a priest, together with Aristide.
The presence of many people from Rwanda allowed us to admire their beautiful traditional dances, which accompanied the offertory and then lunch.
On Sunday, June 14th, another great event took place: Father Joseph Samedi, a Jesuit from Central Africa, was consecrated Coadjutor Archbishop of Bangui, alongside Cardinal Nzapalainga.
The Mass, which began at 9:30 a.m., ended at 2:00 p.m.! There were so many people, inside and outside the cathedral: it was the people of God celebrating the new pastor!
