Buea, Cameroon – In anticipation of the 60th anniversary of the Catholic Women Association (CWA) in Cameroon, Bishop Michael Bibi took time after his regular Monday teachings today July 22nd 2024 to inspect key sites in Buea.
Accompanied by about a dozen priests, the Bishop visited the Divine Mercy Co-Cathedral and the Bishop Pius Awa Memorial Pastoral Center, ensuring that preparations are on track for the historic celebration scheduled for July 24th, 2024.
