The people of Mapuordit blessed Brother Rosario Iannetti during a farewell feast after working hard at Mary Immaculate Hospital of Catholic Diocese of Rumbek.
The occasion came after Brother Iannetti accepted a new mission in Wau and handed the hospital to Brother Paolo Rizzetto, the new medical director.
The entire community of Mapuordit gave special blessings to Brother Iannetti for his great and loving service as medical doctor in the last 15 years in the area, said Fr Daniele Moschetti, Provincial Superior of the Comboni Fathers.
He described the blessing as a very moving moment since all community members put their hands on the head of the Brother who is going to serve at St Daniel Comboni Hospital in Wau Catholic Diocese.
Fr Moschetti added that Mapuordit community also awarded a certificate of honor to Brother Iannetti ‘for his excellent medical services’ to the people of Eastern Lakes State.
The occasion brought together the Board of Governors of the hospital, representatives of the Comboni Family in the region, Italian medical NGO CUAMM, Mapuordit community and the government of Eastern Lakes State.
