Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s President Salva Kiir has contributed an amount of 50,000 US dollars to the Catholic Church in Yei River County of Central Equatoria State on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Kiir made the donation during the consecration of Father Alex Lodiong as the second bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Yei.<\/p>\n

The money was announced by Josephine Napwon Cosmas, the National Minister of Environment and Forestry, who represented President Kiir on the occasion.<\/p>\n

In her speech to the congregation, Minister Napwon said the funds are donated by the president to support activities of the church in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president has contributed a sum of 50,000 USD to the church,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Napwon also encouraged parents to send their children to seminaries and convents, saying the church lacks enough priests and sisters.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019To all the Christians, especially the Catholics, let us as parents encourage our children to become priests and sisters because the priests we have are old,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Napwon also separately donated two million South Sudanese Pounds to the choir and organizing committee of the program.<\/p>\n
