(2008-03-20) Thank you
We would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Izabela and Dariusz Lukasik, as well as the children from St. Albert’s Parish Mission Circle in Lublin for caring about our mission and for their support, not only in prayer, but also in deed. We will try our very best to ensure that the funds they have sent us will be used to help the poorest children on our mission. Even though the small missionaries from Poland live far away from Zambia and Mpunde, they will remain close in the hearts of our children. Thank you so very much. We wish you all the best! more >>
(2008-03-16) Utuncindu-Palm Sunday
As in all Catholic parishes around the world, we also celebrated Palm Sunday today. Fr. Jan visited two of our chapels: Chilumba and Muchienga. Fr. Adam celebrated two masses on the mission – one for our parishioners and one for the secondary school. So, in almost 40 of our mission’s chapels, only 3 had actual masses. In the remaining chapels our people had to pray by themselves without the presence of a priest. In most churches in the developed world, the presence of a priest is an ordinary and expected fact. In Zambia, a priest’s visit to the chapel is something extraordinary. We thank the Lord for the priests who serve in our parishes and, at the same time, we ask Him that Catholics on all missions around the world have the opportunity to attend Mass every Sunday and every holy day. more >>
(2008-03-08) The Mpunde women celebrated too…
Our dear ladies from Mpunde celebrated International Women’s Day for the first time this year. As you would expect, they dressed up pretty and handed out smiles to our men. But everything began with a Mass, after which for more than an hour they marched through the village singing and carrying Happy Women’s Day sign. Tired and a bit dusty, they then rested under the tree shade and listened to speeches prepared for them by two very smart ladies from the city of Kabwe. There was also a modest supper and right before sundown they played some netball (a kind of basketball) accompanied by the joyous cheers and songs of their fans. more >>
(2008-03-06) We care about our Mission’s appearance
During rainy season, instead of plowing snow like you do in the winter, our Parishioners cut the abundantly growing grass to make sure that the church grounds look nice and tidy. They happily come to help every Thursday. It is, after all, their mission, and its appearance gives testimony about them, too. For us, it gives us great joy to see that our people care so much about the Lord’s house. more >>
