Wau Catholic Bishop over the weekend laid a foundation stone of the new parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus at Malang Alel in Aweil South County of Northern Bahr Al Ghazal State to be run by Mary Immaculate Conception priests from India.
Bishop Rudolf Deng Majak in an interview to Voice of Hope Radio on Tuesday said the new parish was established due to the increasing number of the faithful in the Diocese.
He revealed that the Diocese planned to establish three other parishes at Bar Mayen, Eastern Gogrial and Aweil Central County.
Currently there are five parishes in Northern Bahr El Ghazal and at the beginning of this year Bishop Deng inaugurated new parish at Eastern Bank of Wau.
