The Monsignor through Good News Radio on Wednesday in Nairobi Hospital asked Christians to continue praying for his quick recovery.
Monsignor Carlassare appealed to Christians in the Catholic Diocese of Rumbek and South Sudan in general to take the good news of Christ to everyone, assuring the faithful of his return to the diocese when he recovers.
“Let us be truthful and stand for justice in the country,” he pleaded.
