Dear Suore Missionarie di S. Pietro Claver,

I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support, which has been instrumental in our mission at San Martín de Porres Parish in Buenaventura, Colombia. With your assistance, we have successfully implemented the Peace Seedlings Formation and Strengthening Project for Afro-descendant children and youth in our parish.

Through this initiative, we established three peace groups for children and one for youth in different neighborhoods, providing them with training in peace, reconciliation, and cultural identity. We also incorporated Afro-Colombian music and dance as tools for fostering peace, purchasing traditional instruments to engage young people in a meaningful way.

Your generosity has allowed us to impact over 200 children and 40 young people, equipping them with the values of peace and forgiveness. We deeply appreciate your continued support and keep you in our prayers as we work together to build a future of hope and harmony.

With gratitude,
P. Lawrence Ssimbwa, IMC
Pastor, San Martín de Porres Parish
Buenaventura, Colombia

The Parish of St. Thomas More (Malimbalimba) through the Diocese of Karonga requested for financial aid from the Missionary Sisters of Peter Claver to train her lay leaders. Thanks be to God, the Parish received assistance. With this help St. Thomas More Parish ran a series of leadership training for her lay church leaders. 
The Parish of St. Thomas More Parish remains very grateful to the kindness of the Sisters of Peter Claver for this help. Being the only priest looking after the Parish that has close to 6,000 Christians spread across a vast area which is very difficult to reach, I can testify that after the leadership training. I do not need to be everywhere to organize the communities. They are able to take care of the administration of the Church while I concentrate on ministering Sacraments and Preaching the Word. All thanks to this Project. 

I wish on behalf of the Bishop of the Diocese and the entire pilgrims of the Diocese of Dmaongo to express our gratitude to you for assisting us to acquire these Sacred Vestments for our liturgical use. As mentioned earlier, these Chasubles and other vestments will help us in the following:

1. Bring beauty to the liturgy at the Shrine
2. Help bring about uniformity as well as depicting the proper season and occasion.
3. Help correct the situation whereby some priests will always wear only stoles while others are in the chasubles.
4. Put the people of God in the mode of prayer based on the solemnity of the atmosphere.

Thank you very much for your support. We will continue to pray for you all and especially for Sr. Susan, Sr. Lydia, and Sr. Adriana for the peaceful repose of their souls.

Dear Sister Assunta GIERTYCH,

A grant for the training of seminarians.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support in assisting us every year with the training of our seminarians.

We give thanks to God for the priestly vocations in our Diocese; it is truly by His grace. Over the past ten years, the number of young men presenting themselves for the priesthood has increased. This growth is linked to the increasing number of Catholics in our Diocese.

Every day, at the end of the Eucharistic celebration, Catholics recite a prayer asking the Lord to call young people to the priesthood.

We strongly believe that prayer is the source of the increase in priestly and religious vocations in our Diocese.

We deeply appreciate your continued support.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025, a year of hope.

We pray for you and all our benefactors.

MGR Marie Fabien, OCD
Bishop of Morondava, Madagascar

Most Reverend Mother,
Dearest Sisters,
May the Lord grant you His peace.

With this letter, we first want to extend our greetings and express our gratitude for your great gift, which you sent us in April to support us in our project of building the enclosure wall around the buildings of our Monastery.

This gift from your immense generosity has been very useful to us because a significant part of the construction has been completed—especially on the side where thieves used to frequently enter to steal from the garden we cultivate.

Now, we feel a greater sense of security and tranquility in our agricultural work, as well as for ourselves. However, there is still a section left to be built, and for that, we continue to extend our hands to Divine Providence, hoping that one day this, too, will be completed.

In recent months, we have noticed an increase in the number of faithful coming to pray in our chapel, staying for longer periods. Some have shared their experiences with us, saying that in this place where we live, they feel a great sense of peace, fulfilling their deep desire for rest and prayer.

We give thanks to the Lord for this, for He alone accomplishes wonders for His children. We also see this as one of the fruits of the grace brought by the construction of this enclosure wall.

We would also like to inform you that during this month dedicated to the souls in purgatory, we have arranged for Holy Masses to be celebrated, including five special Masses for the deceased members of your beloved congregation.

With deep recognition in our hearts, you are more than just Sisters in Spirit to us—through the bond of charity and communion in prayer, as we continue to follow Christ together. We feel your closeness and assure you of our own.

Thank you immensely.

We will continue to pray that the Lord may place in the hearts of young people the desire to follow Him in your congregation and to serve Him wholeheartedly.

As for our own community, it is also growing. This summer, we welcomed three young women who had been journeying with us for some time and now wish to become nuns of St. Clare of Assisi.

In all things and through everything, we always rely on the Lord’s grace and His providence.

Please never forget us among the poor of the Lord. Thank you.

With gratitude, recognition, and filial love in Jesus and Mary,

Sister Maria Regina IBYISHAKA, OSC
(on behalf of all the Sisters)

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support and generosity in assisting us with our pastoral work. Thanks to your help, we now have a motorcycle, which has significantly enhanced our ability to serve our parish and the wider Tunduru Ward.

With this motorcycle, we can now:

• Visit schools to teach catechesis, Bible knowledge, and other lessons.
• Reach the sick, the elderly, and families who are unable to attend church due to various challenges.
• Travel to small Christian communities and pray together every Saturday.
• Attend missions and outstations for masses, burial ceremonies, baptisms, and other pastoral activities.

Your continued love and support mean so much to us. Please be assured of our prayers for you and your missionary work. We wish you a fruitful Advent, a Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year.

Sincerely Yours,

+ Filbert Mhasi

Dear Sr. Assunta and the Suore Missionarie di S. Pietro Claver,

On behalf of our congregation and the Chad-Cameroon delegation, I extend my deepest gratitude for your generous support. Your kindness has brought immense relief to the SFS Boys’ Home, allowing us to complete two vital projects that have significantly improved the lives of the children in our care.

With your assistance, we successfully installed a solar power system, ensuring a stable and reliable electricity supply. This project included new solar panels, lithium batteries, and a power converter, designated separately for lighting, electrical outlets, and the motor pump. To enhance durability and security, we also installed a cooling system for the batteries, a protective iron door for the solar room, and a chest freezer to store food supplies, reducing our need for frequent trips to the city.

Additionally, we took steps to improve the educational opportunities for our children by establishing a small library. Despite challenges in sourcing affordable books, we were able to procure essential materials from N’Djamena, providing valuable learning resources. We also purchased a shelf as a temporary storage solution while we work toward expanding the collection further.

We remain profoundly grateful for your unwavering support. Please know that you are always in our prayers, and during the Holy Eucharist, we remembered your kindness and offered prayers for the departed Sisters Lydia, Susan, and Adriana. May the Lord bless you abundantly and continue to guide your noble mission.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Fr. Robin Joy Karumathy, MSFS
Director, SFS Boys’ Home

Dear Sr. Viji,

Greetings to you and all the sisters.

I am writing to report on how the funds you provided for Hospital IGA, initially intended for chicken rearing, were redirected towards cattle and goat rearing. We are delighted to share that we were able to acquire some animals, and this has brought us great joy.

With the animals, we have even started tilling our farm fields, making use of their strength for plowing. Enclosed, you will find a picture of Sr. Anastazia busily plowing with the animals. Additionally, our goats have given birth, which was an exciting moment for us. We have taken great care of both the baby goat and its mother.

The hospital farm is now thriving, looking busy and well-utilized with the presence of these animals. This initiative has truly transformed our space, bringing both productivity and sustainability.

We are deeply grateful for your support. Please extend my heartfelt appreciation to the sisters and the donors for their generosity.

Our Superior General is also very pleased with the animals and has been incredibly supportive of this project.

Enclosed are pictures and the report for your reference.

Thank you so much—may the Almighty God reward you abundantly.

With love and prayers,
Sr. Anastazia Mlauzi

Dear Sister Assunta,

It is with great joy that we have received your funding, which has enabled Abbé Jean Léonel Nkoa Nkolo and his team from the diocesan chaplaincy to finalize the budget for the diocesan youth days.

I am sending you, attached, the acknowledgment of receipt, the project report prepared by Abbé Jean Léonel, and a few images.

I take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to you and all the missionary sisters of St. Peter Claver. I also assure you of our fervent prayers for vocations in your precious congregation and for the three sisters who recently passed away.

I remain available for any further considerations.

Fraternally in Christ Jesus,

Dear Sr. Assunta,

I promised you more information about the grant to the Brothers of Charity for the school of Yirgachaffe. The beneficiaries of this money are the children with intellectual disability day care center in Yirgachaffe, which is run by our Congregation Brothers of Charity.
The works of the school started some months ago and I had the pleasure to bless the first stone. I took them much time to start because of lack of funds. I send you some photos of the ceremony.
I take the occasion to thank you again for the generosity you showed the Vicariate of Hawassa during the four long years as Pastor of this flock. I will keep you in my prayers.

Abba Juan

The final joy is that the pickup is now back on the road as can be appreciated from the photos shared. Among others, we are now able to ferry seminarians when they are going for various apostolates. We are able to transport commodities in the operations regarding poultry, piggery and maize garden. ln addition, we are now able to ferry foodstuffs for the seminarians from the market to the seminary. We are glad since we have achieved our main objective.

As the seminary community, we would like to express our vote of thanks for assisting us with funds to repair the seminary pickup. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Like St. Paul in
the letter to Ephesians, we never cease giving thanks to God for you, always praying for you (1:16).

St. Joseph Technical and Vocational Training School
Arua, Uganda

Greetings and best regards from St. Joseph technical and Vocational training School. On my behalf, on behalf of the Parents and on behalf of the school, may you allow me to express our sincere gratitude for the funds you allocated and sent for water harvest and storage in the school for particularly the refugee students using our training / education facilities.

As our developing countries here is Africa also is advocating for skills training for better increase developments, this advocacy have encouraged many parents to send their sons and daughters to technical and vocational schools. That have led to increase in number of enrolment also in our school which originally was meant only to train those who could not afford payment of school fees in secondary schools. The increased numbers of students in the school have over taken the workshop spaces that can be used for practical's training and also there is demands to create more training workshops spaces for other introduced technical courses like Bakery, hair dressing to mention a few.

Thank you, God bless you.

Yours sincerely,
Rev. Bro. GALDINO ATOBUA

• We renovated the underground water reservoir
• We put up a laundry room and replaced all old water pipes with poly pipes and fixed a new water pump

From St Cecilia Mphererembe Catholic Parish, Malalwi

On 12 Jul 2022, we presented a project proposal for the maintenance of a pastoral vehicle in St. Cecilia Mpherembe Catholic Parish. Though the vehicle is old, but it is
very strong and reliable. Most of our outstations in our parish are distantly located in remote areas where the road terrain is bad. We are aware of the need of maintaining the vehicle so that we can continue using it without facing problems. It is because of this that we presented our application to your good office.

We thank you for the financial support given to us. Be assured of our prayers to your organization. Attached above are the photos and receipt of the work.

Yours sincerely,

Rev. Fr. Petros Chikayiko Mwale - dp

We bring you our sincere and deepest gratitude for this noble gift we received from you that allow us to

poor children.
We thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts for your tireless efforts you have made to support
our mission of God in this village.
