Sacraments at Holy Family, Cassava River

On Sunday we celebrated our second Stewardship Sunday for the Mission. Masses were rearranged so that at 3:00pm the communities of Holy Family and Sacred Hearts could come together for Baptisms and First Communions. Fr Michael Heine, Kadian Ximines, Sr Marcia and Sr Noami have been working with the children after the Wednesday Mass in preparation for today's celebration. Four young ladies were Baptized and seven made their First Communion. After the Church celebration the ladies of the church put on a 'pot luck supper.' The menu included: chicken foot soup, roast port, curry goat and roti, rice and peas, the ever present cabbage salad and the not to be forgotten beet drink. After 2 hours in church we were all ready for a big glass of beet drink!

frs, Mike H.,Joe D. and Mike D. I am happy and inspressed with the work you do and the people you serve there in Jamica. Know that you "mission" to us here on Okinawa in many ways. Know that you are fraternally supported in prayer here. Keep up the good work and just try your best.
