Wa, 30 November, 2022 / 9:30 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Symposium of Episcopal Conference of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) have paid glowing tribute to Richard Kuuia Cardinal Baawobr who passed on in Rome on November 27.
The 63-year-old late Cardinal, a member of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers), was the President of SECAM since July 30 when he was elected.
In a tribute on behalf of Catholic Bishops in Africa, Fridolin Besungu Cardinal Ambongo, who serves as the First Vice President of SECAM, says he learned with “great sorrow and sadness” the passing on of the Local Ordinary of Ghana’s Wa Diocese and eulogizes him as a dedicated and generous servant of God.
“The Universal Church has, thus, lost one of her worthy sons and Pastors who served the Lord and his brothers and sisters with dedication and generosity,” Cardinal Ambongo says in the tribute shared with ACI Africa Tuesday, November 29.
The Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) expresses his “deepest condolences” to the Holy Father, “who has, thus, lost a precious collaborator.”
