Father Damien is ready to visit one of 34 village churches which is the responsibility of two priests, so there is plenty of work to be done. Today I go to say Mass for them.

Please pray for all our needs today.  

If it was not for people in our parish Father Damien could not have ensured he was able to say Mass in so many villages. Thank you Billingham parish.

Feed a person for a day - eat for a day - show a person how to fish - eat for a lifetime. Just think of all the people YAKUBU JOSEPHINE JATUNANA has helped. Thank you Billingham parish.
