SHRINE AT DOBRA: Archbishop Liborius Ndumbukuti Nashenda of the Roman Catholic Church has inaugurated and consecrated a Marian Shrine dedicated to “Our Lady of Peace” at Dobra on the outskirts of Windhoek on Friday.
According to a report by the Church’s Social Communication Department, the Worship service was concelebrated by Bishop Willem Christiaans of Keetmanshoop, Archbishop Gabriel Bilingi of Lubango, Angola, Father Linus Ngenomesho, the Apostolic Administrator of Rundu, and many priests, deacons and brothers from the Windhoek deanery.
As part of the inauguration ceremony, the Bishops planted some trees in response to Pope Francis’s 2015 Encyclical Laudato si’ (“on care for our common home”) in which the Pontiff lamented environmental degradation and global warming and called on all people of the world to take swift and unified global action.
Pilgrims are called to make pilgrimages to the Shrine for prayers.
