A SPECIIAL APPRECIIATIION TO MRS SUSAN WEEMS

           Words are not enough to thank and appreciate Mrs Susan Weems who until recently was the United States Coordinator of Catholic CHESS Project. Mrs Weems has worked so hard to ensure that no stone was left unturned in the development of the Project. Though it still looks like a dream to me, I cannot but face the reality that as much as she likes CHESS and would give everything she has for it, she has to slow down on a lot of matters as she is not getting younger. She has promised to c...

OUR POULTRY

The story of our poultry is a long one. Some years ago we tried our hands on the poultry business to produce eggs for the home. But we could not maintain it because we did not quite understand it.

ANOTHER CHILD ENTERS THE MINOR SEMINARY

Since the entry of the minor seminary by JohnPaul and his two friends in the home. The subject of “seminary-school” as the children call it is one that had been seriously discussed and debated among the children. Many of them (boys and girls) who have expressed their desire to go to seminary school to become priests and sisters are actually too young. However, one of those who has been challenged to do so is JohnPaul’s own classmate, Godstime, who has been in Holy Family Academy secondary sch...

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Dear Friend, I cannot think of a better way to communicate this message to you than to invite you to pause for a while and reflect on something with me.
