The Diocese of Lodwar this year celebrating 50 years of evangelization in Turkana, this reminds all the work of the missionaries who were led by late John Christopher Mahon who was from St. Patrick's missionary society. This years theme for the jubilee is arise and evangelize towards a deeper Christians commitment. The Jubilee cross was launched in the Cathedral grounds last year December the 8th and will come back to the Cathedral to close the jubilee year this year 8th December. All parishes have been having the cross in their various parishes and outstations starting from the oldest parish which was Lorugum and after that came to central, Northern Deanery, lake Deanery and lastly Southern Deanery. His lordship also said that this Jubilee year has brought blessings to the County and also the world, since pope Benedict the IV has chosen this year to be the year of Catholic faith where catholics are called upon to witness Christ. His lordship also added that the oil discovery is another blessing to the county. He also mentioned that this is the year where the voters will determine the fate of this country including Christians and urged them to be careful in choosing leaders so as to elect leaders who have the needs of the people at their hearts. Another jubilee blessing is the launch of the 20 billion irrigation project in Todonyang by the Prime Minister which will feed people in the whole country when rolled out. The jubilee cross was received in the southern Deanery by the dean who went to collect it from Kalokol and was handed over at Lochwangikamatak outstation of Christ the king Lokichar parish from where it will be taken to Nakwamoru parish which is the oldest in the southern Deanery. When the cross goes round all parishes in the south it will be brought back to the cathedral awaiting the 8th December celebration to close the jubilee year. Do not miss the jubilee blessings, make sure you touch the jubilee cross!
