Tomorrow, Wednesday 16th October, marks the 2nd anniversary of Daphne Caruana Galizia, the Maltese investigative journalist murdered because of her work. Members of the Maltese community in Luxembourg and friends are holding a vigil tomorrow, Wednesday, at 19:00 in the courtyard in front of the main door of St Alphonse church, rue des Capucins. All are welcome to come and remember Daphne and her journalistic efforts for justice, and how she paid the ultimate price. RIP.

If you have a spare laptop which is in working order, a member of our parish urgently needs one to support his studies.  Please contact the parish office in the first instance: parish@catholic.lu

Thank you for your generous response. The necessary laptop has been found.

If you have arrived in the parish in recent months you are invited to attend this informal event on Sunday 20 October after the 11.15 Mass.  It is an opportunity to meet members of the Pastoral Council and Sub-Committees.  It will be held in the Garden Room in the courtyard at the back of St Alphonse.

Important message from Ilula Orphanage Program:

The treasurer of IOP Lux, Tom O’Dea was in Tanzania at the end of August this year to attend the Farm for the Future advisory board meeting. This meeting issued a document which was later signed by the top official in the Kilolo district,

The Statement is a ‘Statement of Commitment’ to Farm for the Future (FFF) written by its advisory board and explains the underlying point of this organisation as well as it’s hopes and expectations. To read the statement please click STATEMENT

The people of Tanzania need a sustainable future of their own and it is through  projects such as this, that they will have the opportunity to achieve that future.

As  friends/supporters of IOP (who began this initiative and own 51% of FFF plus the land), we would ask you to please read this document and share it with as many people, companies or organisations as possible. FFF needs investment if it is going to continue to work and more importantly to grow.

More information can be found about FFF here www.ffftanzania.com and about the associated training NGO here:  https://acefff.org

A member of the meditation group recently recommended the Bonnevaux retreat centre in France.  We have been informed that there are still places available on a retreat at Bonnevaux 18 – 20 October 2019.
