A letter from our Founder, Father Paul:
Dear Friends of many many years,
Here in St. Peter Parish Nkololo we continue with our very simple preparations for the holy day of Christmas. Today the 2 nd Sunday of Advent I heard many confessions before saying Mass at our outstation of Ng’wamoto. Next week on Saturday we will have confessions after our 3 p.m. Divine Mercy prayers and again the following Saturday. Monday and Tuesday before Christmas we will spend some time cleaning up around and in the church. I hope that we will have some flowers donated to brighten up the church. Tuesday we will use our limited number of figurines to put up our simple crib. At 9 p.m. Christmas Eve the young people will put on a little play followed by our choir singing as people fill the church. I will start Mass after ten p.m. and finish about midnight. In better days I invited a few people to the house for food and drink but now I have to get to bed so that I am ready for the 10:30 a.m. Mass. My associate pastor Fr. Mashaka will spend the night at Gasuma Center saying Masses. The Christmas cards, gifts etc that I grew up with will gradually creep in and there will be less Christ in Christmas but so far that has not happened in Nkololo. Christmas is still a Holyday and not just a holiday. May your Christmas be a Holy and Blessed day. You will all be in my prayers.
Blessings,
Fr. Paul
