MISSION APPEAL KITALE, KENYA
Page 2 Saint John the Evangelist August 11, 2013
... 21 Nursery schools, over 200 Primary schools, and 35 High schools are sponsored by the Diocese! ... The Diocese has a vibrant Justice and Peace awareness agenda, and a strong Women and Gen-der Development campaign, aiming to improve the profile and quality of life for women in Kenya. ... Father Dan is continuing his studies in develop-ment in Washington, DC. Please give generously to his appeal today on behalf of his Diocese. ... ‘Fiesta De Las Flores 2013’ is this Saturday (17), from 4:00pm to 10:00pm, and on Sunday (18) from 8:00am to 8:00pm. There’ll be live music, great food, games for the children, and more! ... The Saturday (17) entertainment line-up in-cludes, Fleetwood Max, featuring Saint John School music teacher, Ann Heller, Weis Guys Jazztet and Groupo de Danza Xinachtil. Don’t forget your dancing shoes! Lots of fun for all! ... On Sunday (18), there is superb entertainment all day, including our Polynesian Dancers, a fabu-lous Mariachi Band, The Jazzkatz, The Jenks Band and our own Happy Tappers, and much more! ... And there is delicious food all day, to suit every taste, Breakfast Burritos, ‘Brandt Beef’ Burgers, Carne Asada, Tacos, Hot Dogs, Ice Cream, and lots of refreshments to wash them down! ... Our Grand Drawing has a first prize of $5,000, a second prize of $2,500, a third prize of $1,000 and a fourth prize of $500. Tickets are $2 each or a book of 30 for $50. That’s next Sunday (18)! ... Our contributions last weekend (4) reached $16,841.00 with 408 families using parish enve-lopes. A further $4,908.00 was contributed ‘online’. ... 103 families gave $3,058.00 to our Building Fund last weekend! ... An Organizational Meeting for our forthcoming Parish Ministry Fair is this Wednesday (14) at 7:00pm in the Leucadia Room. All our groups, or-ganizations and ministries are urged to be attend. ... Pope Pius XII in 1950 proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, not only as a privilege for Mary, but as Pope Paul VI wrote, “as the destiny of all those whom Christ has made his own.” Our celebration, too! ... The feast of the Assumption is this Thursday (15). It is a holyday of obligation. Masses are at 8:00am, 10:30am, 6:00pm and 7:30pm (Spanish). ... “Go out to all the world and tell the Good News!” We are all missionaries!
“Do not desire to be other than you are, but desire to be very well what you are!” ... Welcome to Father Daniel M. Nganga from the Diocese of Kitale, in north west Kenya, in East Af-rica, who joins us today, at all Masses, to seek sup-port for his young Diocese. ... Father Dan is one of a family of ten, five boys and five girls. Another of his brothers is also a priest. Father Dan entered the seminary in 1992 and was ordained a priest on October 12, 2002. He has been a Pastor in Sirende and Chepareria in Ki-tale Diocese. ‘Karibu!’ ... The Diocese of Kitale was established in 1998. It’s first bishop, Most Rev. Maurice Crowley, is a classmate of Father Brian, and has served for 41 years as a missionary priest in Kenya. ... The Diocese of Kitale consists of the Trans Nzoia and West Pokot areas of Kenya, with a population of 1.9 million, and a vast area of 11,000 sq. kms. ... Trans Nzoia is famed for it’s rich arable lands, producing most of Kenya’s maize, but, today, be-cause of the vagaries of climate, the world economy and local markets, is suffering from widespread un-employment and poverty. ... West Pokot is a vast mountainous semi-arid re-gion on the edge of the Turkana desert. Nomadic pastoralists graze cattle and goats throughout the interior, and many more live in small remote vil-lages. The main challenges are access to health re-sources, education and the availability of water. Father Dan’s most recent parish was in West Pokot. ... There are 23 parishes and over 408 outstations in the Diocese, served by 57 native priests and 18 missionary priests, 8 religious brothers, 66 reli-gious sisters, and 392 village catechists. ... There are 66 students for the priesthood in the Major Seminary and 120 in the Minor Seminary. ... Last year there were over 6,510 Baptisms, 2,780 First Communions, and 1,502 Confirmations, and ongoing religious formation in each outstation. ... The Water Program aims to improve commu-nity self-development and self-management by re-sponding to community water needs. Spring pro-tections, boreholes, and rainwater harvesting tanks help to ensure year round sources of water. ... The Diocese manages 2 hospitals, 11 Health Programs, the Kitale AIDS Program, a program for children with disabilities, and the Saint John Bosco Rehabilitation Centre for Street Children.

PREPARACIÓN Imagínate la siguiente escena: estás sentado en tu pupitre en la escuela. La maestra camina por el
pasillo, y coloca el examen delante de ti, volteado h a c i a a b a j o . Preparas tu reloj. Tienes exacta-mente una hora para completar ese examen.
Volteas el papel. Y entonces te das cuenta: nunca tomaste apuntes. Nunca estudiaste ni hiciste tareas. Para un estudiante, la falta de preparación es la pesadilla de pesadillas.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de la necesidad de prepararse. Dios estará encantado de darnos el reino, dice Jesús. “con la túnica puesta y las lámparas encendidas.” Prepárate. Las enseñanzas de
Jesús nos recuerdan la pregunta que una vez le hicie-ron a san Francisco de Sales y sus compañeros, que, de acuerdo a la historia, estaban jugando billar. “¿Qué harían si les dijeran que el fin del mundo llegará en una hora?” Los amigos de san Francisco empezaron a conjeturar sobre cómo pondrían sus asuntos en orden. Casi todos mencionaron la oración. Francisco se encogió de hombros: “Yo seguiría haciendo lo mismo que hago ahora.” ¿Estás preparado para encontrarte con Dios?
PADRE JESUITA ALBERTO HURTADO Hace casi 2000 años, Jesús declaró que “los zorros tienen guaridas, y las aves del cielo sus nidos; pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene donde reclinar la cabeza”. Lamentablemente en las calles y callejones del mundo este dicho se realiza d i a r i a m e n t e e n t a n t o s abandonados por la sociedad que viven sin techo ni hogar. En los años 40 el santo jesuita, Alberto Hurtado de Chile quiso darle al Hijo del hombre un lugar donde reclinar su cabeza recogiendo a los niños y a los adultos indigentes. Su ejemplo llamó la atención de otros cristianos que se unieron a sus esfuerzos y así en 1944 fundaron la asociación benéfica “Hogar de Cristo”. Este hogar se dedica aun todavía a acoger, educar y rehabilitar a los necesitados dándoles las herramientas necesarias para poder depender de si mismos. También vela por sus almas dándoles una formación total de cuerpo, alma y espíritu. En fin, el Hogar de Cristo se dedica a difundir la realidad de los pobres por medio de nuestro llamado bautismal a la responsabilidad que tenemos en darle al Hijo de hombre un lugar para reclinar su cabeza.
