Dear MOP supporters,

Trevor made a visit to the Saburai Mission in Timor Leste in February of this year. Our apologies for not getting these posts out earlier but sometimes time gets away.

Notwithstanding, an update on the almost completed mission house (now the DIVINE MERCY MONASTERY) is long overdue. In short, the mission house looks wonderful. Due to the efforts of the local tradesmen from Saburai and Indonesia and much help from Tony Harris, a supporter from Australia, the mission house has been well worth the wait. It now houses upwards of fifty brothers, either fully professed or young men in traning. Now that the mission house is fully operative, the mission is closer to the poor and can minister to the local Saburai people, many who are the poorest of the poor and need much assistance. The brothers minister to the sick and elderly, attend to the needs of the hungry with feeding programs and assist with distribution of the eucharist on Sundays.

The main rooms of the house have beautiful ceilings which were put in by an Indonesian tradesman for no extra cost. Check the ceilings out in some of the images. Once the mission house is fully completed, the mission intends to build an apostolate on the lower section of the property which will house the elderly where the brothers will tend to them on a permanent basis.

By the way, the official inauguration of the Divine Mercy Monastery will be just after Easter on April 28.

Watch this space

Blessings to all

Trevor and Tina
