Bissau, 19 August, 2024 / 4:59 pm (ACI Africa).
The donation of 25,000 Bibles by Brazil’s Catholic Archdiocese of Paraná to the Catholic Diocese of Bafatá in Guinea-Bissau will go a long way in helping Catechumens and members of families grow in their Christian faith, the Diocesan Administrator of Bafatá Diocese has said.
Speaking at the official reception of the donation on Sunday, August 18, Fr. Lúcio Bradghani said the contribution is expected to play a “crucial role in supporting the spiritual development of the faithful and strengthening the Church's evangelization efforts in the region.”
“The arrival of these Bibles is a great support to catechumens, especially those who are preparing to receive the sacraments,” Fr. Bradghani said, and added, “Many families, who until now did not have a copy, will finally have one at home.”
“We see this as a tool in the hands of individuals and families to help them grow in their Christian life, in social life, in dialogue, and in encounters with people of other religions,” the Diocesan Administrator of the Bissau-Guinean Episcopal See said.
He reiterated, “The impact we expect is that our faithful, and not only them, will experience growth in their Christian life.”
