Work in progress
I still haven't figured out if it's the jobs and construction sites chasing me, or if it's my fault!
Anyway, in this week of relative quiet, I find myself with numerous works and construction sites starting or continuing.
We are finishing the Maliko chapel, built this past year. Here I devote some care to decoration so that it will be a beautiful place to pray and to stand. The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Hope, and the Jubilee of Hope, which we are living, points us to the Cross, a sign of God's Love for us, as an anchor and guide for our lives. And the little church is a gift from a Spanish parish.
In the parish of Tokoyo, a neighborhood in Bangassou, thanks to the Pontifical Mission Societies, restoration work has begun on the rectory and parish works: starting with the roof, and then rearranging everything.
Also here in the Mission, where I live, we are fixing some solar systems.
And in Lanome, a parish 37 km from Bangassou, two construction sites were opened this morning, Feb. 28: the new church, and the elementary school.
Building is challenging and expensive: a bag of cement, in Bangui, the capital, costs about 15 euros, but the price has more than doubled, here in Bangassou: the same bag of cement costs more than 35 euros!
But Providence is great, and the generosity of so many people will make these dreams come true too!
