Officials in the Catholic Archdiocese of Juba met family members of Late Fr Peter Loro Bambu on Tuesday and discussed reception of his body.
Secretary General, Noel Nyombe Santo says the body will arrive at Juba International Airport on Thursday at 9:00AM, Radio Bakhita reports.
The body will be preceded to his family in Munuki, he adds.
On behalf of the family, Jacob Kenyi Leju appreciates the Church for the arrangements.
He prays that God consoles the family and friends.
The preparation is going on well, Fr Gabriel Asida Andrew, Vicar General, confirms.
He calls on St Theresa’s Cathedral, St Joseph and St Kizito’s parishes to prepare more buses to facilitate transport for mourners.
The body will later be taken to St Joseph’s Church for requiem mass before proceeding to Rejaf cemetery for burial.
