MCSPA members of the Prince of Peace Catholic Mission, have joined representatives from the Nyangatom local government on Sunday, in order to show solidarity to the people of Kibish, who lost their homes in the recent fire this week.

This initiative is a real sign of love and peace between communities that are still in conflict due to cattle raid and excess of small-fire-arms.

We pray that such kind of signs will be the beginning of a real peace based on a mutual respect for the dignity of every member of the community across the divide.

Last week on Thursday and Friday, Ss. Joachim and Anne Catholic parish in Kibish, held a parish pastoral council meeting together with all our Catechists.

We invited the delegates from Prince of Peace -Naturumoe from Nyangatom in Ethiopia. 8 members arrived at Kibish parish, being lead by their head Catechist and were welcomed by the border  police officials before they proceeded to the parish where the Parish priest and his team received them.

The Catechists from Nyangatom and Ss. Joachim and Anne Catholic parish, started the meeting with a lot of enthusiasm and the key point was Ekisil…PEACE. Peace between the three communities leaving at the border in Kibish.

Lack of Peace has left many communities and families divided, many have lost their lives especially the young people within the bordering communities.

The delegation from Nyangatom came with the message requesting the Kenyan communities to accept and sign up the peace agreement which is still in discussion from the Nyangatom. Also they requested the Catholic under Ss. Joachim and Anne since their faith is strong, to crossover to Prince of Peace Parish – Naturomoe in order to help in reawakening the Faith of the people in Nyangatom since it is a first evangelization area.

The meeting was crowned with Holy Mass and thereafter all shared lunch and the Nyangatom team left Kibish with a lot of JOY hoping that soon PEACE will be restored
