During this celebration, marked by hymns, prayers, and the sacraments, 76 faithful received the Holy Spirit through the sacrament of Confirmation, thus becoming adults in the Christian faith. In his homily, the Bishop invited the faithful to cultivate unity in diversity, like the apostles gathered by the Holy Spirit.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the Catholic Church of Kampti vibrated on Sunday, May 24, 2026, to the rhythm of the celebration of Pentecost, with the actual presence of the diocesan father of the family, Mgr Ollo Modeste Kambou, who came to commune with the Catholic faithful of the parish.

Addressing the godparents, the bishop urged them to remain close to their godchildren in order to accompany them spiritually with responsibility and fidelity.
