Another Sunday in Katire

Yesterday I was back in the beautiful mountain village of Katire for Sunday Mass. This time, at the bishop's suggestion, I brought five young men from the St. Daniel Comboni Missionary Youth group, with whom I have been working for the past six months.

At the offeratory during Mass I experienced a child's version of the Widow's Mite. In a village suffering from hunger a little girl brought up an ear of corn to put in the collection.

The photos below show the congregation in Katire, boys on the left, girls on the right (with a closeup), and the two waterfalls along the small river that passes through the village.

Father Herald, bless! I only recently became aware that you had left Honduras and are in Sudan. Great work, great blog. I'll post a link soon on the Caelum et Terra blog (yes it has continued in that mutant form). I'm sure our readers will be interested in what you are doing now. May Our Lord continue to bless your service!
