Thank you from Ethiopia
I would like to thank the Mission Fund of Malta for its latest donation of €2,000 to the Galilee Centre, Ethiopia.
At present, we are in the process of constructing a new building, Block 04, which will have 12 rooms connected to a similar building we completed in May 2019.
This latest donation will be combined with a 2019 donation of €5,000 from the Mission Fund and this go towards the cost of the new building.
Since 2005, I have been helping the Church in Ethiopia in a retreat centre run by the Jesuits and the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady, called Galilee Centre, in Debre Zeit. My main ministry is to offer retreats, spiritual directions and seminars to the religious and priests of the Ethiopian Catholic Church and to other Christian Churches as well.

(CNEWA file photo/Petterik Wiggers) The Catholic bishops of Ethiopia issued a letter assuring the bishop of the Eparchy of Adigrat, located in the currently embattled Tigray region, of their solidarity, ongoing prayer and closeness. This week, Abune Tesfaselassie Medhin , eparch of Adigrat, was unable to join the Ethiopian bishops for their 50th plenary assembly in the country’s capital, Addis Ababa, due to the conflict in Tigray and the subsequent restrictions of movement in the region. The bishops’ letter, dated 18 December, was written a day after news outlets reported there had been no communication from Abune Tesfaselassie for several weeks and his whereabouts were unknown.
