FROM THE PASTOR
I am pleased to welcome Fr. Don Phiri (SMA) to our parish for July and August. By way of intro I asked him to share a short bio of himself. Please give him a warm welcome and take the time to read some of his background.
I am Fr. Don Phiri and I was born on the 24th September, 1980 in Zambia. I come from a family of ten (10). I have one brother and eight sisters. My parents and all other family members are Catholic.
I went to the seminary of the Society of African Missions (SMA) in 1999. I studied philosophy in Zambia, did a spiritual year in Benin and a pastoral year in Egypt. I studied Theology in Kenya and was ordained a deacon in 2002. I was ordained a priest on 26th July, 2008.
Currently I work as a missionary in Liberia in the diocese of Gbarnga. I serve as Pastor of St. Mary’s Parish in Liberia. I am here at St. Theresa of Lisieux Parish for Pastoral experience for two months. I am sure I will have an enriching and exciting experience as we live and pray together
"Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set
before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God
is at hand 
for
you.'" - Lk 10:8-9
