Action at the Kindergarten

In the Gizo catholic diocesan development program, the registration and upgrading of all kindergartens has a privileged place.
The KINDERGARDENS give the church an opportunity to meet young couples and help them to grow in their marriage relationship and in their duty to raise their children as good Christians and honest citizens...
The first of the kindergartens to be rehabilitated is the Saint Peter Parish Kindergarten, damaged by the tsunami and earthquake... The rising sea level and the frequent flooding has made the rebuilding a true necessity and priority for the people of Gizo.
In a ceremony this morning after the Sunday Eucharist, the ground breaking and laying of the cornerstone took place after the blessing of the ground.
The kindy now has a regular enrollment of a 100 students but could easily double its population as a result of the restructuring project.
The kindy teachers are undergoing qualification at the SICHE right now.
At the same time, several visiting volunteers will take care of the last touches of the church building: flooring, light and sound system...
The child Jesus will have a decent place to be born this year at Gizo and the children, his favorite friends will also have a place they can call their own...at the renewed St Peter's Kindy.

The catholic church at Gizo is happy to give its cooperation to all other churches to make Gizo a beautiful place to be...conducive to learning and growing as a committed community

Sincerely

Bishop Luciano Capelli, SDB

New church building needs availability of people.

Catechist caretaker, catechist Mekaio said that they are very proud of their new church buiding that was funded by the benefactors from Italy.

Mr. Mekaio said, they are currently using the small hut for worship which can only house a hand full of worshippers. To have the new church building will certainly cater for the catholic community that makes up more than half of the Nusabaruka population.

He strongly asked the community that their involvement should be more positive, especially if they want their new church to be completed soon.

The completion of the new church building should see an increase in motivation and participation in planning and evaluation, at both parish and diocesan level.

Mr. Mekaio urges Nusabaruku community as a whole to combine their efforts together and help out on this historical event - something for their offspring to talk about and enjoy the benefits.
