Once again on behalf of our Infant Jesus Sisters in Somo, Cameroon I would like to thank you , Fr Barry, and all the people of the parish for your continued generosity towards our Sisters in Cameroon. As I said to Sr Ita last night I appreciate that every penny, every pound of your contribution has to be earned and collected. You are a living example of Christian sharing with our sisters and brothers in need.

I spoke to Sr Noreen who is in Cameroon at present. The sisters run a Technical school, a 4-year cycle, for 100 girls in Somo. They are constantly in need of school materials.e.g. - tracing paper for patterns, needles, upkeep of sewing machines/computers, cooking materials, textbooks, supplies which we take for granted but which are treasured in Somo. During the first months of this year there has been alot of politicial unrest which has an immediate impact on the funding of schools, hospitals for their day-to-day running expenses.Thank you very much indeed for enabling us to continue our work among these girls to provide them with skills for their future life.

May the blessings of Peace and Joy of the Risen Lord fill your hearts and home in recognition of your sustained spirit of sharing.

With loving and grateful wishes,

S Alice KilBride, General Bursar Infant Jesus Sisters

Again we send our heartfelt thanks to Fr. Barry and all parishioners of Christ The King, Holy Rood and St.Joachim for the very generous gift of money to our community in Kenya this Easter.

Kenya is getting back to some sort of normality after the most terrible recent struggle and we pray for peace, rain and better times for all.

You are all in our prayers too.

Kindest regards from Sr. Marian.
