The Parish of Phariyago is located in the west of the Diocese of Diébougou, about 30km from the Cathedral Parish. It is a catechumenal parish created in 1999. Our Daughters of the Holy Spirit community has existed since 2006. We are currently three Sisters in the Phariyago Community.
Our mission. “Each community participates in the mission of the Congregation where it lives. It discerns how to incarnate the charism according to the missionary choices which are ours” RDV N° 11. Daughters of the Church, we try to seek unity in diversity through the bond of peace.
We live together to serve – the sick at the public dispensary of Bondigui, – the women grouped together in an association called ‘femmes débout’ – and the children at the Primary School of the Parish of which we have the direction and at the College of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
“We pay special attention to the less privileged where we are sent, mainly in the educational, health and social sectors” (RDV N° 3). We try to recognise in them the Person of Jesus Christ. We participate in the Mission of God with all those who seek to restore relationships in the world marked by justice and fraternity. In a concrete way, we seek to give dignity to all students in collaboration with other teachers and parents. At the level of the Dispensary, with the free health care offered by the Government to children under five years old, we try to sensitize the parents of the children in their care.
In the Church, in St. John the Evangelist Parish of Phariyago, we collaborate with all the parishioners, especially with the members of the Parish Council of the Laity (CPL) and the Choirs; we share our faith with the Catechumens and we also have the responsibility of the Sacristy. phariyago.pdf
