Fr. John Finlayson, Fr. Danisa Khumalo, Srs. Bernadette Boulle and Joy Money joined many others, march in protest against the xenophobic attacks in
Gauteng during which many of our foreigner brothers and sisters lost their lives and others their homes and possessions. The march, organised by the Archdiocese of Johannesburg Justice and Peace commission, ended with a Mass in Christ the King Catholic Cathedral, concelebrated by Archbishop Buti Thalgali and Several priests.

 

 

Sr. Ethel recently started a sewing project in St. Martin de Porres parish in Lavinstown,
Cape. A lively group of ladies meets regularly to learn the art of sewing. As well as sewing, the ladies are forming relationships in which they are able to share their joys and sorrows, their concerns for their environment… and just have fun together! The ladies are very grateful to Sr. Ethel and the Holy Family Sisters for giving them this opportunity to develop their skills and to get to know each other. 
 

Sr. Meryl Foley, seen here with the group of Lay Associates, started and accompanied by her in
Uganda, writes “The Lay Associates are expanding here in Buhara. The original members – 4 men – have been joined by ladies who responded well to their introduction to the Holy Family Association.”
