The ceremony, which took place last Saturday, November 12, was a bit long (nearly four hours), but lively and exciting.In front of a joyful congregation of about 3,000 faithful the new bishop was ordained in a simple and solemn Eucharistic celebration. The president of the celebration was Mgr. José Camnate, titular bishop of Bissau, surrounded by seven other bishops coming from the nearby dioceses (Senegal, Cabo Verde and Bafata) and some 115 priests. Mgr. José Lampra Ca was born in the Biombo region, in 1964. He is presently serving the Diocese of Bissau in the quality of professor of philosophy at the Great Diocesan Seminary.
