Christmas 2012: “How Beautiful on the Mountains, are the Feet of One who Brings Good News, who Heralds Peace, Brings Happiness… ” (Is. 52:7)

Abstract

As we come to the close of this year, I send you my hearty greetings. Much has happened in the Archdiocese of Bamenda in the course of this year. These happenings were moments of God’s grace and love for us. The 29th Dec. 2011 marked the 40th anniversary of my priestly ordination. The 8th Dec. 2012 marked the 30th anniversary of my consecration as Bishop. On 25th February 2012, I celebrated the 40th anniversary of my priestly ordination with family members, friends and the parishioners of my home Parish, Mbetta, in the Diocese of Mamfe. On 1st Dec. 2012, together with the priests, religious men and women and representatives of all our parishes in the Archdiocese, we celebrated with great joy both anniversaries in our Cathedral Church. I am deeply grateful to you for your best wishes, prayers and contributions on the occasion of these celebrations as well as for your support and collaboration in the work of evangelization and for the success of my pastoral ministry as Priest and Bishop.
