Ghislain Mulumanzi, being ordained into the priesthood; understands and celebrates the role St Monica’s Parish Church plays as a community anchor, through its rich history of volunteer groups, family-oriented programmes, spiritual services, and educational ties, cultivating fellowship, support, and spiritual growth across generations; congratulates all involved in preparing the recent 75th anniversary Mass, led by Bishop Joseph Toal, and offers the clergy and parishioners of St Monica’s very best wishes for the future.
