Pastoral Visitation in Local Communities
Greetings!
One of the major activities in my ministry here as Priest is Pastoral visitations. Each month, I set out a program to visit the local communities of my Parish. There are twelve of them. Two of the communities are on the coast, while ten are right in the Bush, up on the mountains.
In visiting the communities, I celebrate Holy Mass with them and pray for them. I also convey other sacraments for the people when necessary as well needed. The sacrament needed most in all communities is baptism, as there is always new infants in the communities. Jesus himself said :” let the little children come to me. ”
So whenever, baptisms are needed, I convey it to the candidates.
Indeed, pastoral work here is a challenge in terms of location and destination of communities, but the Almighty always give me the strength and courage to reach out to his people.
With wishes and regards to you all!
Yours sincerely in the Risen Christ!
