Excerpt from Hawaii Catholic Herald, 09/29/2021
“This is my second mission abroad. The first time I left Zambia, I went to Baltimore, Maryland, for studies. But I also helped out with celebrating Masses and ministering in other pastoral duties at the Church of the Nativity in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. I worked with the people. Even when I was working in the Zambia Episcopal Conference as the assistant national pastoral coordinator for several years, every weekend I was in the parish celebrating Mass, the sacrament of the sick and the sacrament of reconciliation. I feel the heart of my priesthood is to work with the people.
Parish work is exciting for me. It is nice to be back in the parish. Taking each day, one day at a time, I find that as I deal with people, I also grow and am nourished spiritually. As you meet people and they share their lives and the different challenges they may be facing, you share in the will of God. It can be stretching at times, but it is a blessed ministry.”
