Jesus Caritas

Little Sister Ascale and Ascale Myriam from Ethiopia both spent time recently in London to brush up their English and we are always happy to receive news.

Little sister Aselefech's final vows 2007

They write: What a joy it was that Little Sister Aselefech made her final vows in Wushwush. All the parish helped in the preparations. It was the first time to have such a celebration in the village and it was such a wonderful occasion for everybody!

Joy to be together

Card making

Other good news is that there is now electricity twenty four hours a day in Wushwush. The government is also building a big telephone centre so now we can use a mobile phone. Work is soon to start on repairing and building a good road from Addis to Jimma.

Candle making

Just to have work is good news! We have been making cards to help earn our living and also candles.

Wushwush, many hands make light work!

Of course there is always plenty to do in the fields and to look after the goats.

And that is not the end of our good news! Four diocesan priests were ordained in April and two new deacons. All the other priests belong to religious congregations so this is a new stage in our Church.

Please join with us in thanking the good Lord for all his love and blessings!
