The celeb ration was in the Coptic rite and was presided by the bishop of Giza-Fayoum-Beni Suef, Mons. Tomas Adli, who was clearly pleased to ordain yet one more Comboni priest in this parish of his which has given to the Church a number of vocation to religious and missionary life.
Among those attending, there were Mons. Claudio Lurati (Apostolic Vicar of Alessandria), Mons. Dominc Eibu (bishop-elect of Kotido), as well as confreres from all over Egypt, diocesan and religious priests, sisters and faithful, especially from the parishes of Imbaba and Helwan. The celebration was concluded with an agape.

With this appointment, his 17 years of ministry in the Arabic-speaking world come to an end. The faithful of the parish gathered for a joyful moment of celebration on Friday 4th November, and then for a final Eucharistic celebration on Sunday 6th November. The whole province of EGSD wishes to the bishop-elect all of God’s blessings and graces for his new apostolate.
Provincial Assembly of the Comboni Missionaries of the Sudan
The provincial assembly for the zone of Sudan was held in the provincial house of Bahri from 26 to 28 October. The work of the assembly focused on the reception of the Chapter Acts and on a preliminary reflection for the forthcoming writing of the Six Year Plan. The assembly adopted some methodological choices which had been adopted by the 19th General Chapter; the community reports and the secretariats’ report adopted the eulogic method (centred on the seeds of life, the sicknesses that sometimes affect them and the vision of where God is calling us to be in the next 6 years). Also, the reflection that followed the reports focused on the dreams, the guidelines and the commitments that are to be embraced. This process of reflection will later on be elaborated and integrated with the reflection to take place in the zone of Egypt, for the drafting of the Six Year Plan.
