Gulu, 15 September, 2022 / 9:00 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Congregation of the Brothers of St. Martin de Porres in Uganda’s Gulu Archdiocese have expressed their gratitude following a financial donation from the Catholic Pontifical and charity foundation, Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) International, to boost the “ongoing formation”.
In a report published Wednesday, September 14, Brother Charles Olumu, the Congregation’s Delegate Superior conveyes the joy of the Brothers after receiving $10,500 to support ongoing formation and other evangelization activities.
“In the name of God and in the name of my confreres who have known the consolation of your love, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your tireless efforts to support the mission in this poor region of Northern Uganda,” Brother Charles says.
He adds, in a note to the Catholic charity foundation, “May God Almighty bless you for the good work you have done for our Brothers. My confreres deeply appreciate the friendship you have shown us. We have truly understood that someone who helps his friends in need is a true friend.”
In the September 14 report, ACN notes that the Brothers of the Congregation that was founded by the late Bishop Sisto Mazzoldi in 1953 when he was the Prefect of what was called Barh el-Gebel in Sudan live in poverty in the impoverished part of Uganda and rely on donations from outside the country to provide pastoral care to locals.
