“GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS.” MATT 28:19

A

s Christians, we are all called to be missionaries. Some of us serve in our own communities – as beacons that draw others to Jesus and His teachings. Others are called to spread the Gospel far away from home.

Fr. Phumlani Makhaya, parish priest of St. Joseph’s in the small town of Wartburg is one of these. On the second and fourth Sunday of the month, he celebrates Mass at Joseph’s. In between, he travels around to each of the six small outstations he serves, bringing hope and salvation to 600 people living in remote rural villages.

Sometimes he takes food parcels and basic medical supplies with him. Because, the communities he serves are very poor. Many don’t even have access to clean water and electricity.

Even though parishes in more affluent areas of our Archdiocese contribute towards our mission stations, it’s not enough to sustain a priest’s work, or even  cover the cost of fuel for the many kilometres Fr. Phumlani travels each week.

Without help from concerned Christians around the world, many of our churches would not survive.
Please consider making a contribution now, in celebration of Mission Month. Your donation of any amount is your own personal response to Jesus’ call to ‘Go and make disciples of all nations.’

Your gift helps keep God’s light of love, hope and salvation burning bright, so that even in their darkest hour, people are strengthened by their faith and the pastoral care that priests like Fr Phelelani provide.

In return, please let us know if you have special intentions you’d like included in our monthly mass for Mission friends,

Thank you, and may God bless you.
