Preparations are gaining steam in the Diocese of Buea ahead of the celebration of the Day of Consecrated life.
Even though in the Universal Church commemorates the World Day for Consecrated Life every February 2, this year, the day would be celebrated in the Diocese of Buea on Thursday, February 9th, 2023 at Saint Joseph’s Parish Tiko.
The celebrations would commence with a Pontifical Holy Mass to be presided at by the Chief Shepherd of Buea, the Most Rev. Michael Bibi.
The World Day for Consecrated Life is an opportunity to celebrate the gift of consecrated life and pray for men and women discerning a consecrated vocation with the global Catholic Church.
While all the baptized are called to share a common relationship with God: to be “religious” or holy in the broad sense of the word, those choosing to live consecrated lives elect to follow a specific tradition or spirituality often patterned after the life and teaching of the founder of their community.
This special day draws attention to the contributions that consecrated men and women make to the Church and society at-large.
