Koumra, Saturday, June 13, 2026. A historic surge of spiritual fervor swept through the Cathedral of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus. Before a vast crowd of faithful, religious leaders, and local authorities, the Diocese of Koumra celebrated a memorable event. Father Mia Oscar was ordained a priest during a solemn celebration marked by deep communion.
This ordination marks a major historical milestone for the local Church. Father Mia Oscar is officially the very first priest ordained by Bishop Mbaïrabé Tibingar. By taking this foundational pastoral step, the bishop situates his episcopate within the continuity and renewal of the diocesan mission in Chad.
In a vibrant atmosphere, the bishop called upon the newly ordained priest to dedicate himself fully to the people of God. The new priest is now sent forth to his pastoral mission with the weighty responsibility of guiding the faithful. This historic milestone strengthens the local Christian community and breathes new life into regional pastoral work.
A fitting adage : The first fruit of the vine announces the promise of the harvest; the faithfulness of the shepherd makes the strength of the flock.
