You were able to give them opportunities to learn a lot of things. They brought home a lot of knowledge. Please extend this message to all the parishioners. Love, Bishop Montfort Stima, Mangochi, Malawi SMALL SAD NEWS- from John Phiri, principal and visitor, Dear St Brendan, hope this mail finds you in good health. I am glad to say I am alive and kicking. I want to let you know that on night of November 24, thieves broke into my house and went away with many valuable things. I reported the issue to the police who are investigating it.when I am weak, then I am strong. Life goes on! A kite does not fly with the wind but rather flies higher when it flies against the wind.

The Sacrament of HOLY MATRIMONY In a Catholic wedding, the bride and groom make serious promises to each other. They love each other very much. They promise to live together all their lives. They will honor each other, which means that they will treat each other with great respect. They promise to be together in good times and bad. They will be together whether they are sick or well, and whether they are rich or poor. They will welcome the gift of children. JESUS BLESSES MARRIAGE Jesus blessed marriage when he turned water into wine at a wedding in the town of Cana. It was his mother Mary who told Jesus that they had run out of wine.
