FATHER BONIFACE OGONNA
a volunteer Nigerian missionary priest in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
pastor of the Catholic parishes on the islands of Union and Mayreau
Before you complain the next time you to go to Mass, watch the two videos below. This is how Father Boniface has to do it, each way, every time he has Mass or a parish function.
Our organization, Catholic Second Wind Guild, has helped both parishes is several ways. (1) A new roof on Saint Joseph House on Union (2) a new boat motor to get the priest back and forth between his two islands (3) a new fence around the church on Mayreau to protect the vegetable garden, shrubs and plants from roaming island goats (4) Christmas gifts and Easter baskets for the kids (5) first-aid kits for the fishermen's boats (6) school supplies for the kids. We are now working on ceiling fans for both churches because of the intense heat in that area of the Caribbean. (7) We hope to sponsor a safe, social-distancing Christmas "goody bag" distribution for the kids this year.
PLEASE WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FOR A FULL APPRECIATION
