As we approach the season of Advent, both Notre Dame du Rosaire Catholic Primary School and St Mary & St Michael Catholic Primary School warmly invite our parishioners – especially our elderly parishioners and grandparents – to attend special performances of their school nativities. These performances are a lovely opportunity for the parish community to share in the children’s retelling of the Christmas story and to come together in faith and joy.

St Mary & St Michael: Monday 8th December at 9:30am in the School Hall

Both performances will be followed by tea and cake. If you would like to attend, please let the school offices know so we know numbers and can prepare refreshments –

Notre Dame du Rosaire: ndp.office@education.gg

St Mary & St Michael: mmp.office@education.gg

We look forward to welcoming you to celebrate this very joyful time together.

Upon the warm welcome I’ve received from parishioners, more spiritual works of mercy was extended to my brother in his time of difficulties and to my entire family as well. Though words are too feeble for such appreciation, sincerely I will still say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for prayers offered. Many organised prayers, individual prayers and even requests made to Religious Orders for more prayers yielded much fruits as he didn’t remain in the wrong hands. My family was very grateful when they heard of the prayers and best wishes. Kindly continue to pray for my country and many others, who like my brother, suffer such maltreatment. May God bless you all and may we continue to pray for one another till we reach the better land.

While adding my voice to that of Fr. Bernardine to thank you for the projects in his parish, I will like to let you know that his parish accommodates many displaced persons who need such facilities. Given that Fr Bernardine has worked for long in education, I can assure you without fear that he knows exactly how best to design it for the needs of that area. Your every initiative, donation and call to call for action directed towards Bamenda is much appreciated as it creates real and wholistic impacts. Thank you. “The least you do for these little ones, you do it for me” (Mtt. 25:40).
