All are invited to Come and witness the Saints come alive, teaching and inspiring us to lead joyful lives. They serve as role models, teaching us that holiness means being who you are, and as an added benefit they pray for us from their posts in heaven. We can remember their wisdom and acknowledge their impact on the world. Speaking the names of those who have passed and telling stories about their lives can help keep memories of them from fading. Memorializing the dead can also have a positive effect on those who remain on this earth.

Dear Friends in Faith, Praised be God for his abundant blessings upon our lives. I share with you today my joy as I celebrate my 30th anniversary of being ordained into God's priesthood. As I have lived this call over these past 30 years, God has given me the secondary call to serve the poorest of the poor, God's children. I have been doing this by reaching out, among those I serve, to appeal to their goodness to help me create schools of excellence and learning for children in Ghana who, otherwise, would have nothing educationally with which to build their lives. On this anniversary year, I begin once again, to reach out to families in faith, friends, and all who care, to seek the funds to add six classrooms and restrooms onto our primary school structure, so we can meet the space and academic needs for our youngest children. If God's grace so moves you to support this very real mission, please know that your generosity is changing the contour and culture of Ghana's families. It brings hope to children for a future where they can serve their people and the world having had the gift of a first world education. Yours in Christ, Fr. Paul Attah-Nsiah 563-495-1076
