Christians of the Diocese of Buea and beyond have mobilized funds to support the renovation of Regina Pacis Cathedral Small Soppo Buea; the seat of the Local Ordinary of the Diocese. Constructed in 1928 and made Cathedral in 1950, Christians of Buea Diocese on Sunday, July 14, 2024, joined their Chief Shepherd Michael Bibi for a Fundraising Mass at Regina Pacis Cathedral Small Soppo to thank God for this Cathedral and the fruits it has bore over the years and to raise funds to assist with the continuation of renovation works at the Cathedral, ahead of the 75th-anniversary celebration of Buea Diocese.
Fund raising Mass at Regina Pacis Cathedral
Officiating the Eucharistic celebration, Bishop Michael Bibi called on Christians to avoid twisting the truth to gain favors. Despite the persecution faced, Christians were urged to stand by the truth and to be ready to die for the truth. They were called to live good and holy lives, avoid sin, and make decisive moral choices that make them true sons and daughters of God.
