A massage to members of our Parish Council

Dear councilors,

Greetings and best wishes to you all. Those of you who have a special devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus, congratulations upon successfully concluding the first annual Novena to the beloved Saint. Need I point out that as lay leaders in our church, you share in the ministry of this apostle? As he is known for solving impossible cases, you too are sent to contribute to the solving of so many hard problems among the people you were elected to serve. May he be a shining example as well as an intercessor for you in that mission.

To our mothers (of course I mean all women) among you , I say; we prayed for you on the International Women’s day, Thursday 8th March. We are proud of you and acknowledge the fact that you have come out to take positions of responsibility, not only in the civil society but also in our church. Our Ssaabakristu, our head Catechist, head of the Good Samaritan Ministry, just to mention a few, are women. My prayer for you is: ‘May God give you eyes to see, courage to rise and believe in His providence, peace amidst the storms of daily life and success as you carry out His duties’.

Now to all of you councilors, we have now passed the mid point of Lent (which always falls on Thursday of the Third Week of Lent). As leaders you have the big responsibility of being exemplary before those you serve in your communities or departments, and guiding them in what has to be done during such seasons as this one of Lent.

We have the 4th and 5th Week of Lent plus Holy Week still ahead, use those weeks to do some special Lenten activity in your community or department, so that at the end of the season, you will have something to show to the Almighty, as your achievement during the Lenten Season of the first year of this kisanja (term).

Blessings to you all.
