The image of Our Lady of Kibheo is traveling through the parishes of the Lira Diocese to promote Marian devotion and spiritual renewal. After visiting several locations in the Ngetta Deanery, the image arrived at Ngetta Parish on Thursday, October 8, 2026. The faithful at Ngetta Parish will hold a prayer vigil through the night before the image moves to St. Jude Sub-Parish, Ojwina, on Friday, October 9.

The pilgrimage began on October 1 at Lira Cathedral Parish and has since visited St. Peter Catholic Parish in Anai, St. Leo the Great Parish in Boroboro, St. Peter Claver Parish in Ober, and St. Philip Neri Sub-Parish in Erute. On Saturday, October 10, the image is scheduled to enter the Aloi Deanery, starting with Aloi Parish.
