Dear Friends,
Good afternoon and hope you are well as we begin this New Year 2022!!
We hope and pray for better times to come with an end to this pandemic as well as striving for peace in all parts of our world especially for us here in South Sudan. There is still sporadic violence throughout the country here in our state of Upper Nile but at the moment things are calm.
Here is a poem that reflects hope for better times to come in our lives entitled: "Learning".
Stay well and wishing you all the best of good health in this New Year.
Warm regards,
Fr. Mike Bassano, MM
