The importance of a presbytery cannot be overstated. It serves as a crucial hub for the clergy, offering a place for rest, reflection, and preparation for their pastoral responsibilities. In a time when the demands on spiritual leaders are increasing, providing a designated space for their well-being is essential for nurturing their ability to serve their communities effectively. Bishop Bibi’s visit underscores the Church’s dedication to supporting its clergy, ultimately benefiting the wider community they serve.
As the construction of the presbytery progresses , it is anticipated that it will not only enhance the quality of life for priests but also strengthen the Church’s presence and outreach efforts in Buea and surrounding areas.
