Vladyka bless!

       I pray that everything is fine. Glory be to God that we are still alive. My Matushka is very sick and I even can’t afford to take her to the right hospital because I have no money to do so. I bow down for your holy prayers. I hope and pray the mercy of our Lord will be bestowed to her.

  The Parishoners and the entire parish is striving on. Vladika I have almost come to the end of the wall. I sometimes can’t afford to buy the church wine. This means I have to miss the Holy liturgy. I’m very sorry but if I reach in such a situation I should let you know of my problems. You are my Bishop.

  My children are out of schools so am very stressed. But all the same I trust in my Lord for everything. If possible I bow down for some help.

Pray for me Vladyka
The Servant of God
Fr. Christopher Walusimbi
