The newly founded Holy Diocese of Majunga and North Madagascar, from this year on, with special love, pastoral care and practical concern, stands by the priests and their families, supporting their children on the occasion of the start of the new school year.
As part of this initiative, the Holy Diocese of Majunga and North Madagascar is covering the school costs and enrolment fees of our priests’ children, with graduated financial support depending on the number of children in each family.
As a newly founded Diocese, we wish from the very first year of our journey to show in practice that the priest and his family are not alone. Our Church stands with love, respect and discretion beside their needs, recognising the offering and daily ministry of our priests.
The financial support has already been given to the families, and the joy on the children’s faces is great and moving. At the same time, the warm thanks of the priests and their families to our Diocese are a special joy and encourage us to continue every effort of support with even greater love.
This initiative, carried out for the first time by our newly founded Diocese, expresses our desire to build a Church that is close to people, listens to their needs and gives with love, discretion and sensitivity.
On the occasion of the new school year, we wish all the children of our priests and all the children of our Diocese a blessed, creative and happy school year, full of health, progress and success.
May God bless our children, light their way, strengthen their families and grant everyone a beautiful and fruitful school year.
