FRANCISCAN MISSION OUTREACH + ACTIVITY UPDATE + DECEMBER 2012 LIBERIA: September 6 - 19, 2012
I spent two weeks with Fr. Adrian Crowley at St. Gabriels Parish on the outskirts of Monrovia during my first visit to this small West African country established by former US slaves in the mid-1800s. There were Masses, Holy Hours, talks and other activities in the parish. We also visited outstations, like VOA (Voice of America - located near the former broadcasting site of this US-sponsored radio program), where many Sierra Leone refugees have settled. The children in VOA receive a weekly meal (photo right) and catechesis from St. Gabriels Parish. We also visited Archbishop Lewis Zeigler and the sites of Marys Meals and the Cenacolo Community.
