- FAITH IN ACTION CAMPAIGN – This weekend, we are kicking off our parish fundraising – Faith in Action. Our aim is to add extra money to the expendable income of the parish, to enable us take care of some pressing needs. Two weeks ago, our finance Chair addressed us at the end of Mass. She pointed out, among other things, that the loss of our rental income has negatively impacted our finances. Let’s be clear, the rental income accounted for about sixty percent (60%) of the running income of the parish. This money stopped coming in December 2025. We are advertising the building but have yet to find any renter at the moment. So, the loss of income still persists. Coincidentally, during this time, we noticed some areas of the church building that require urgent attention. At the moment we are limiting ourselves to what is strictly essential, bearing in mind the scarce resources. For instance, our HVAC was down for about one month prior to last week. The campaign will run for a period of one year. We plan to hold a second collection every First Sunday of the month (irrespective of what is going on). We are grateful to have received some generous donations towards this project, even before this start date. At the end of this financial year (July 2025 – June 2025), we hope to have raised enough funds to pay for the essentials, and what is left could be spent on some other areas. We have printed some special envelopes for this campaign. They will be left at the pews and the narthex every first Sunday of the month. They will also be available for you in the parish office. We are very thankful for your continued support to the parish, even in your hard times. Many of you continually bless us with your time, talent and treasure. We feel encouraged by your presence and goodwill and will never take those for granted. As one family, let us pray for one another, and for the success of this campaign. We are hopeful that, through the intercession of our Lady of the Rosary, God will make our parish family stronger in the end. Blessings, Fr Jude Okeoma

Our Lady of the Rosary
The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it a compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus — his birth, life, death and resurrection. The Our Fathers remind us that Jesus’ Father is the initiator of salvation. The Hail Mary’s remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence. The Glorys remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.
