The Holy Trinity celebrates the feast of the community



It happened on the 31st of May, solemnity of the Holy Trinity (who is the saint patron of the community). The program included: Eucharistic celebration (with a baptism), a shared meal and a talk. The mass was presided by fr. Renato Chiumento (spiritual assistant) with the intervention of fr. Jorge E. Mwaluko (missionaries of the Most Precious Blood of Christ) as concelebrant. As to the baptism, the members had the joy of receiving a new member: Christian Emanuel Jennings, son of Angelica Jennings, Liberian. After the mass, under the trees the assistant gave a short teaching on “The Synod on the Family”, the first phase of which took place last October in Rome and the second phase will be celebrated this October, always in Rome.
Other priests and friends marked their presence during the venue: fr. Andrew Dumbuya (Josephins of Murialdo), fr. Jorge Falcão (OFM), fr. Celso Corbioli (OMI) and the catechist of the Nigerian contingent, M. Ezequiel. 
We had a wonderful time, despite of  the absence of the president of the community, M. Bartholomeu, who went to Nigeria for treatment.
