Religious Life, AN African Perspective
The Immaculate Heart Sisters of Africa (IHSA) is a Catholic religious congregation focused on education, evangelization, and empowering vulnerable women and girls, particularly against harmful practices like Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and child marriages. The cover photo shows a member of the IHSA congregation playing joyfully with children in the Gerald Goldin Memorial Day Care and Nursery School, which they opened in 2022 in Kisarawe, Tanzania.
MISSION IS FUN
A NEW DRIVER FOR FRIEDENHEIM
BY Fr Konrad Nefzger MCCJ | from “Walking with God’s People”
WHEN FR Lechner moved to Friedenheim, White Waters was without transport. Fr Leichner helped from Friedenheim, but a better solution had to be found. Sr Ambrosia was the first to try; she did well, but when she drove into the garage, she suddenly saw daylight again; the mud wall did not stop her! Sr Leona soon knew how to tame a lorry and took the transport under her care. Fr Lechner bought a new lorry for Friedenheim, and the old one was donated to White Waters.
Missing Baby Jesus
Sr Anastasia had lovingly prepared the crib for Christmas. Even Baby Jesus was already in the manger. What great consternation when, at the start of midnight Mass, it was discovered that little Jesus was missing!
