Last Wednesday myself and Sr. Ivone and Renata set out to the "Assentamentos" {Legal Settlements}. The going was very rough, especially with the condition of the dirt road after two months of unending rain. This was the our first visit since before Christmas, as masses in January were cancelled in the outlying areas.
The following pictures are from The Cristo Rei {Christ The King} Community. This community will have a big meeting at the next monthly mass to decide and vote on where to start building their new church. At the moment we celebrate mass in the parish shed {for want of a better word}.
I think this is the bridge our Jeep went off of and thankfully no one was hurt.

The Altar and the Master of Ceremony. Notice to my "Browne" cousins in Carnew I am using for the first time, the new "Mass Kit" that you gave me for Christmas.
MA NY THANKS
