Brothers Stéphane and Philippe welcomed their fellow Brother from Uganda, Brother Festo Maditkwo. For Brother Festo, leaving Uganda, taking a plane, and making successive stopovers in Addis Ababa, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and finally Dili, were all new Experiences! We can only congratulate Brother Festo for overcoming all the difficulties of his long journey.
“Brother Philippe and I spent a year in Timor-Leste when Brother Festo joined us. We are delighted to welcome him! I am touched by the warm Welcome from the local Church and the People of Timor-Leste. Our Integration is progressing thanks to learning Tetum and our involvement in the Parish, particularly with the Catholic school. Little by little, we hope to clarify our Plans for the Future. The Visit of the Superior General next April should help us to define our Direction. May God and His Blessed Mother help us.”(Brother Stéphane Le Pape)
Let us continue to keep our three Brothers in Manatuto in our Prayers. And we especially wish Brother Festo a smooth integration into the Manatuto Community.
