Confirmations in Buyé

On Sunday July 28, Bigombo parish in Buyé hosted a confirmation service. Three parishes - Bigombo, Kabanga and Gitobe - gathered to celebrate the confirmation of 274 candidates! News comes from Buyé diocesan secretary, the Rev. Dominique Ciza, who says that he was “extremely surprised” to see this number. He says the church (which is 10 x 25 metres) was not big enough to hold the “huge congregation,” so they held the service in a nearby building that is under construction and is an extra 10 metres in length.
