Throughout years of war in Sierra Leone, Bishop George Biguzzi of Makeni has never abandoned his people in their suffering. On one occasion, he even joined other in an attempt to liberate child soldiers – a devasting aspect of the fighting that took place there. Through it all, Bishop Biguzzi says, “we remain filled with hope,“ adding, “We thank God and all those who have not abandoned us, who accompanied our people through solidarity, prayer and love.” The Church in the Missions serves among the suffering and poor, during natural disasters and times of war. Help support your brothers and sisters in the Missions.

	Each year for the Missionary Cooperation Plan Appeal every Parish in the Archdiocese is assigned to a Mission Group. The Mission Group makes arrangements with each Pastor to send a speaker, during a weekend in the Summer [June to August], to make a Mission Appeal. For this Mission Appeal, a special collection is taken and sent to the Pontifical Mission Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Funds collected are then sent to the Mission Group.
