PRIESTS GET NEW POSTING-By Okoth Peter


Frs. Angel Valdivia and David Escrich of the Missionary Community of Saint Paul the Apostle (MSCPA) have been posted from their present station of Lokitaung Parish to Jimma Bonga Vicariate, where they are expected to work among the Dassanach community of Ethiopia. This was announced to Christians by Bishop Dominic Kimengich during the official opening of the Inter-Diocesan Conference on Peace and Cross-Border Evangelization at St. Augustine’ Cathedral. The area where they have been posted to do missionary work has been without these services for a long time though MCSPA at Todonyang parish has been extending some of their activities to the region; a move that has seen relationship between the two communities improved at times. The priests who have been working at Lokitaung Parish, are expected to move to their new stations by January next year. MSCPA has been spearheading cross-border peace building initiatives among the two communities of Dassanach and Turkana. On the other hand, Fr. Angel who previously worked at the Cathedral has had a hand in evangelization of peace in Turkana when he worked as Assistant Communications Coordinator and later as the Radio Akicha Director.
