A thanksgiving mass was celebrated on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at the Notre Dame des GSces Cathedral in Koupéla, by Mgr Julien Kaboré, appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana on June 29, 2024, by Pope Francis.
It was through biblical readings and songs of praise that the thanksgiving mass of the Apostolic Nuncio of Ghana, Mgr Julien Kaboré, was celebrated on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the Notre Dame des Gce Cathedral in Koupéla.
The Catholic faithful and parents congratulated Bishop Julien Kaboré on his appointment and asked God to accompany him so that he can accomplish the mission that Pope Francis has entrusted to him.
Bishop Julien Kaboré received episcopal ordination on Saturday, September 14, 2024, in St. Peter’s Basilica from the hands of Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See.
“These are feelings of immense joy that animate the whole family,” rejoiced Jean Kaboré, a member of the Apostolic Nuncio’s family.
The religious community of the Archdiocese of Koupéla gave than
ks to the Lord and are proud, because the Lord has shown good grace to the Archdiocese of Koupéla in general.
“We have followed him since the minor seminary and we have seen that he has the faith to serve the Lord,” she said.
The Apostolic Nuncio of Ghana, Julien Kaboré, also gave thanks to God while imploring his support for the success of his mission.
“We do not deserve what we receive and this is yet another reason to give thanks to God. A Christian never has fear in his stomach. This means that in the Gospel the Lord tells us do not be afraid. If we are afraid it means that we do not have faith. This is a word from our father. This is the reign of Christ, of God and it is peace, joy, understanding, harmony. Everything we have said in the church is so that our society, our world today can live in peace, harmony and serenity,” maintained Bishop Julien Kaboré.
He is the very first Bishop of Burkina Faso to be appointed Apostolic Nuncio.
Ordained priest in 1995 by Mgr Dieudonné Yougbaré at the Notre Dame
des GSces Cathedral in Koupéla, Mgr Julien Kaboré was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana 29 years after his ordination.
