Gathered at the Comboni General House in Laurentina on 10/02/2024, priests and seminarians hailing from the Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio, currently pursuing studies in Rome, recently commemorated the feast of St. Josephine Bakhita. Their gathering was imbued with a profound sense of purpose, as they united under the theme of praying for peace in the strife-torn nations of Sudan and South Sudan.

As they departed from their gathering, their spirits fortified by their shared devotion and solidarity, they carried with them a renewed sense of purpose, inspired by the enduring legacy of St. Josephine Bakhita to be instruments of healing and reconciliation in a world yearning for peace.
