The celebrant of this weekend's Masses at Our Lady of Mercy was Fr Bob Morland SMA (the Society of African Missions.) He works in Nigeria, and to illustrate the value of the work the Society do, told us the story of an African parishioner who, although he had converted to Christianity, was not allowed to become a communicant member of the Church because he had four wives. Yet he suceeded in persuading all his many children and their families to convert to Catholicism, and after his death his wives were also received into the Church.
The SMA currently serve in seventeen African countries, and Fr Bob appealed to us not only to support them financially, but even more especially through our prayers.
