Marist Society, close down Mission work, Dala Parish, Auki Diocese.
Greetings to you all once again.
I had the opportunity to attend another memorable occasion in our Diocese, namely meeting the Marist Society Conferees who serve in Dala Parish. The decision to end mission work in Dala is the Society’s Council; The S.I.’s still need their work.
On Sunday,19 November 2023, the Marist Conferees in Dala celebrated their farewell Mass for the Parishioners of Dala; their Local Superior officially announced to the people the ending of the Marist Society mission work in Dala.
After the mass, in gesture of good heart, thanksgiving and appreciation for the works done by the Marist Society for the last 75 years, the Parishioners put on a big feast for the two Marist Priests who served in Dala. They offered them gifts, as well as speeches to thank them for the presence of the Marists.
Indeed for Dala Parish, it is a transition to a new chapter for their lives and faith. All the good works of the Marist will be missed now.
With wishes and regards!
Yours sincerely in Christ!
Fr, Albert Kalu
