Dear ALMA Reps and Friends,

If you sign up for the RSS feed which alerts you to new additions to the ALMA website you will already know of the tragic loss of another of our partner Priests on 16 December as he was being transferred from Pemba to Maputo following complications after an appendectomy.

The full story is in the News section.

Please pray for the the family of Fr Fenias, the people of Pemba, Lurio Archdeaconry, the Diocese of Niassa and for all of Fenias’ friends and colleagues in Lebombo and Niassa. May he, and the wife of Fr. Joao Roque in Maputo, who died at the same time, rest in peace and rise in glory.
