Mini Mission Fete - Thursday 24th October

The theme of World Mission Month 2019 is “Do not fear, for I am with you.” Our focus country is Ghana, where the Church seeks to provide shelter, food, education, and life fulfilling opportunities for children in need, especially those with disabilities.

We have been learning more about issues of mission and justice. We have been reflecting on the work of Sister Stan. Sister Stan and her team manage Mother of Mercies Baby Home and the Nazareth Home for God’s Children.

In some parts of the north of Ghana children who are born with disabilities struggle to survive. Sister Stan seeks out those children who are challenged by disabilities. She receives into her care those children who are orphans. She makes sure that the children receive shelter, safety and loving care. She also tries to give children with disabilities the training and skills they need to lead fulfilling lives in their communities. Sister Stan is being Christ to those who are in desperate need of care, and is living witness of the proclamation of Isaiah: “Do not fear, for I am with you.”

The survival of these programs, and the children and young people who benefit so greatly from them, relies so much on the generous support school communities like ours can provide today.
