I am very grateful to the Mission Fund in Malta for its generous donations to the Galilee Centre in Debre Zeit, 50 kilometres south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

A grant of €15,800 helped us to drill a borehole and another grant of €2,000 was used to organise retreats and to maintain and run the centre.

Galilee Centre is a retreat house run by the Jesuits and the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady where we offer seminars for the religious and priests of the Ethiopian Catholic Church and other Churches.

We also offer weekend retreats to university students and youths from different parishes, help to pay school fees, distribute food to poor families and offer special care to a number of orphans.

I encourage you to continue to send used stamps and donations to the Mission Fund. I will pray for the repose of your bereaved ones and pray for your needs in my daily Eucharist. Kindly support our work with your prayers.
