Supported by well wishers, yesterday 24th/April/2026 We were able to support internally displace people from Nadiangere living with the host communities in Saura and Yambio in Western Equatoria State, South Sudan with distribution of relief items that included items such as; mats, soap, bed sheets, salt and a sorted food items.

In total we supported over 250 IDPs among which 170 were women and 80 were men. 

Much appreciation to the well wishers who decided that from the little they have, they will support their brothers and sisters living as IDPs

Sacraments Administered

Baptism

Baptism being the sacrament that initiates pagans into Christianity, we have been previllaged to Baptize a good number of African Traditional believers and converted them to Christianity and our numbers are growing steadily.

Confirmation

To be Baptized is not enough for one to fully become a follower of Christ because along the way in one’s christian life there are enormous temptations and challenges and there for the need of the Holy Spirit to guide and direct our individual lives and that is He is receive through the sacrament of confirmation which can only be administered by the chief Shepherd of the Diocese.

Matrimony

The sacrament of confirmation only turns Baptised christians into Soldier of God. However, since it is always administered to adolescents, the challenges ahead are always very many with fornication being the major one, a sin which grately affects our relationship with God and fellow human beings. Hence the sacrament of Holy Matrimony through which God officially recognizes our intimate relationships and blesses the fruits that come with it.

Ordination

By the virtual of our Baptism, we are called to be priest and preachers and above all hires to eternal Kingdom. However among us are chosen others to serve us as priests. Through a formation they are trained to live a life of priesthood and from them we get ordained priest and pastors. Trained to nourish our souls as their sole responsibility.
