A few weeks ago the Church received two new official saints. By calling a person to canonization, the Church is saying that we believe that this person is now with God.
It is with great joy that the Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame have learned, earlier this morning, of the release of Sister Gilberte Bussière and fathers Marta and Allegri, who had been kidnapped on April 5 in Tchéré (Northern Cameroon). Sister Gilberte is reportedly in good health and she has been taken to Yaoundé, where Sister Thelma Renaud, Leader of the Notre-Dame-des-Apôtres (Cameroon) Region of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, will be welcoming her.
The November 21st OK Clean Water Brunch provided an opportunity for the 150+ attendees to hear firsthand of the work being done in Kumbo, Cameroon.
Edwin Visi, presented a PowerPoint presentation on the work and he and Sr. Cathy Molloy answered questions. Edwin and Carmel Horan, Associate spent the next week before he returned to Cameroon visiting some of the 26 schools in Ottawa who participate in the project.
The brunch ended with a musical tribute to Sister Norma McCoy by Bob Carty.
