PASTOR’S PEN "PEACE BE WITH YOU" We need peace in our world, Church, Community and Homes. Jesus knew this and wished us peace when he rose from death. He prayed that his followers may be one. Peace could only exist where there is oneness. United in faith and by faith, we are likely to get along with one another. In this we give peace a chance even in the midst of misunderstanding and disagreement. You need peace as much as I do. With peaceful mind and in peaceful environment, we are able to serve the Lord and have things done. But peace is not sold in any store. We need to cultivate it and nurse it everyday. This, we can do whereby we are ready to tolerate others' view points and exhibit a forgiving-character out of love and mercy. As we give the sign of peace any time at Mass, let us work hard to promote peace in our world and in our own homes. Let us pray for the world's leaders that their policies may aim towards creation of peaceful environment for all. Peace! Fr Ussher

and see it shine”

Father Ussher goes home for vacation from May 27—June 28, 2018. He can take with him used smart phones, ipads, tablets and lap tops for needy college students. We are asking parishioners who may have some to donate to bring them to the office before May 27th. Some parishioners have asked about the clinic Fr. Ussher is building. You can look at pictures if you go to Google Maps-Type in Asankrangwa, go to Good Health Messengers and you should be able to see some pictures of the progress so far. You can also go to Father’s Facebook page—Good Health Messengers Ghana and see some pictures there. Thank you!
