touching the hearts of donors through him," Bishop Sabino said.

Sunde Ochima, the Parish Priest, and his curate for their hospitality and for organizing the celebration. The bishop
reminded the faithful that the mission of Christ belongs to everyone, not only to priests and religious. He encouraged
