In our Community meeting of April 2008, Frs. Carlos Giorgio and Rocco agreed to invite all the people of the mission for a special celebration at the end of May. First we thought to remember Our Mother Mary concluding her month; but the church building is dedicated to the Sc. Heart of Jesus, and his feast this year is on the 30th May.
It was a nice surprise that the people of Fernie 1 collaborated to paint the building church and to make the church's compound looking better, but it was really a joy to see so many people attended the celebration this evening. The people repeated, several times, that the Catholic Church in Damesfontein Mission is still alive and we whish her to grow again in spirit and number.
The event was dived in four main parts:
Presentation of each community (outstation) of the mission with a song and dance
Prayer of the Rosary
Candlelight on the street of the township
Celebration of the Holy Eucharist
