Note from Africa: With this note I wish to inform you all that I have been able to purchase a 2019 pickup with 148,000km on its clock. The cost was 45 million Malawian Kwacha. Towards this purchase St Patrick’s Missionary Society gave me a grant of 8,000Euro and you my home community of Errigal Ciaran from various gifts to me when I was home helped with the balance of 14,500Euro.
I am grateful to my Society and most especially to so many of you in my home Parish. I now have a reliable vehicle with which to continue to my new project and ministry of developing the Kawinduwndu Retreat Centre in Northern Malawi. With gratitude. Fr Leo Traynor, Tirnaskea and Malawi.
