Ziguinchor, 16 February, 2022 / 8:40 pm (ACI Africa).
The newly elected Diocesan Administrator of Senegal’s Ziguinchor Diocese says he is counting on the prayers and support of the people of God in the West African nation to carry on his new ministry.
On February 12, the College of Consultors of Ziguinchor Diocese elected Mons. Fulgence Coly as Diocesan Administrator.
He is expected to oversee the administration of the Senegalese Catholic Diocese until the Holy Father appoints the successor of Bishop Paul Mamba who was transferred to Tambacounda Diocese in November 2021.
In an interview with Fidespost that was reported Wednesday, February 16, Mons. Coly expresses gratitude to the members of the Diocesan College of Consultors and appeals for prayers for the success of his mission.
“I count on your prayers and support to carry and take up together the work in progress and the challenges that the Diocese must face during this interim period,” Mons. Coly says.
