Saint Brendan Catholic Church

Hello from Malawi! We have spent the last several days at Namalaka. It was a blessed and faith filled trip. For those who have visited Namalaka, the “highway” is substantially worse after the recent flooding and two of the bridges are still out. We met Fr. Fanuel who is now also at Namalaka. Our first day we met with the Pastoral Team, Parish Executive and Finance Committee. St. Joseph continues to work on their strategic plan which includes becoming self-reliant as a parish. To that end they have two projects, construction of a maize mill which is almost complete (thanks to support from St. Brendan) and raising goats. Each out church has been asked to contribute one goat for a total of 6. So far, they have 3. St. Brendan also bought a goat this trip, so it will be a total of 7! In the afternoon we had adoration at St. Joseph. Always a blessing to be with our brothers and sisters in Christ. The next day we visited Lungwena Primary School which is where the St. Brendan feeding program is. In the afternoon we visited All Saints Church- which was destroyed by the flooding earlier this year. Saturday we celebrated Fr. Fanuel’s 22nd Ordination Anniversary. We also had mass with the Catholic Women’s Organization at St. Mary’s. We also had lunch and spent some time with the women. It was awesome! Fr. Davie took us on a walking tour of the area in the afternoon. Sunday was our farewell mass and Brigette read the delegate speech in Chichewa! We then had lunch with various parish leaders and then left to return to the Bishop’s house. Today we leave for Neno which is in mountains in Southern Malawi. It is Bishop Montfort’s home village. God bless the people of Namalaka!
