Rev. Augustine Idra, AJ will be in our parish next weekend to make the Missionary Cooperative appeal on behalf of the Apostles of Jesus. The Apostles of Jesus, was the first religious missionary order of priests and brothers to be founded in Africa. Founded by Bishop Sixtus Mazzoldi, MCCJ and Rev. John Marengoni, MCCJ in Moroto, Uganda, East Africa, on August 22, 1968, the order soon spread to Kenya, Tanzania, the Sudan and to other parts of Africa, Europe, Australia and the United States. They achieve this by not only ministering in immediate needy areas, but by also providing a future for tomorrow: Reaching out with the Gospel worldwide Building seminaries, formation houses and schools Establishing Health Centers to continue the healing mission of Jesus Farming to feed the hungry Caring for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS
