Tobin Quasi Parish, which has jealously retained its status as the "thermometer" of Kumbo Diocese, may soon be a full parish as has been announced. The revelation was made on Sunday, June 22, during a Solemn Eucharistic celebration at the main parish church.
While breaking the good news to parishioners, the chairman of the Parish Pastoral Council, Shey Julius Ngalim and his co-worker, Mr.Ndikuba, explained that the December 8, 2008 deadline for the erection of the quasi parish to a full parish, could be respected if Tobin fulfils a number of conditions laid down by the Bishop of kumbo, His Lordship George Nkuo.
One of such conditions, he pointed out, is to construct a secured and befitting house of worship for the people of God. An appeal has been made to Christians of Tobin, well wishers as well as sons and daughters of this fast growing cosmopolitan area at home and in the Diaspora to help out in this direction.
In the meantime, the new rector of the quasi parish, Rev Aloysius Aki, who is yet to be installed, has already called on all Christians of the quasi parish to work as a team to meet the conditions required for the granting of a full parish before December. To set a good example, Fr. Aki has contributed FCFA 100,000 to the church project estimated FCFA 2 million.
