Special Visitor, Special Gift

Bro. Dennis Newton SVD and JayneWe had a special visit the other day.  Four-year- old Jayne brought over forty colorful, soft blankets for kids in our orphanage in Pune, India.  Jayne’s older brother and sister have made a practice of celebrating their birthdays by asking their friends to bring gifts for poor children and now Jayne is following in their footsteps. 
 
It’s a wonderful thing when children in the U.S. realize how blessed they are every day and decide to celebrate one of their most special days, their birthday, by remembering kids who have very little.  It’s surely an inspiration for all of us.
 
Thanks, Jayne!

Brief Report on my Visit to Kandhamal, Orissa-India
BY: FR. RITCHIE VAZ SVD

At my visit to Kandhamal together with Archbishop Raphael Cheenath SVD, I was shocked to see the total and diabolic destruction of the churches, convents, seminaries, presbyteries, service centers and health facilities in six locations. In all 8 churches, 50 village churches, 5 convents, 5 presbyteries, 4 hostels are totally destroyed and devastated. They have desecrated the church by destroying all the statues, bibles and every religious article.
