Letter from Father Odongo
So much has happened since I last communicated with you. Of course, I was out of the parish and country for some months for a re-fresher course in Italy. There I managed to visit some of the church's historical places for my spiritual and apostolic renewal. On my return, I was to be the acting Rector of Consolata Seminary and the Parish priest of "Our Lady of Peace" parish in Nampula. This consumed a lot of my time such that I could not keep my website up-to-date.
As I indicated some time back in one of my "letter from the Father" that a missionary is always on the move to fulfil the mission of Christ "go...and make disciples of all nations..." I am, once more, communicating with you from a new mission!
This time, from the Arquidiocese of Nampula, I was transferred to work in the Arquidiocese of Maputo as curate of two parishes: Paróquia da Santa Teresa do Menino Jesus (Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus Parish) - Liqueleva and Paróquia da Nossa Senhara da Assunção (Our Lady of Assumption Parish) - Librdade. I was also appointed the superior of the community.
Both parishes are located in the Municipality of Matola within the capital city of Maputo. And as usual, I count with your help and prayers for this new apostolate.
Thank you very much for your endless collaboration. May God bless you and continue to keep us united.
Fr. Phelix.
