Congratulations to Sisters Brenda Makokha, Medrine Musundi and Margaret Obwoge who celebrated their Silver Jubilees on 4 December 2024. Sisters Medrine and Margaret will be having their festive celebration with the community on 18 December in Luanda.

Sister Brenda, pictured below, celebrated her Silver Jubilee at Our Lady and Lancashire Martyrs Church in Little Hulton, UK with a Mass of Thanksgiving celebrated by Fr. Tony Chantry, MHM. Several other Mill Hill Missionary priests, as well as other priest friends, Sisters from the UK, friends, parishioners and colleagues from the Chaplaincy of Salford Royal Hospital and the Loaves and Fishes programme joined Brenda for the beautiful Liturgy and a festive meal afterwards in the parish hall. There was much joy and laughter as well as dancing to mark this special occasion.

Many blessings to these Sisters who have served in a variety of ministries over the past 25 years. May God continue to guide you as you serve God's people over the next 25! Blessed be God, how wonderful are God's ways.
