From the Pastor

Dear friends in the Lord,

 
    Back in May, I wrote to you in this space about Father Jean Ikanga, the Divine Word Missionary from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who lives with us at the IHM rectory as he conducts research on Alzheimer’s Disease in Africa through the Emory University School of Medicine. I told you of Father Jean’s appointment by the Conference of Bishops of Congo to take leadership in establishing a School of Medicine at the Catholic University of Congo, and of the urgent need for tablet computers for the medical students, since many classes are being taught remotely by faculty members around the world.

 
     In an expression of the generous spirit I’ve come to love at IHM, you responded in the following weeks with $22,405 toward the project, providing tablets to 70 of the 265 students in the medical school’s first class.
 

     I join Father Ikanga in thanking you sincerely for this powerful expression of global solidarity.


 
Your brother in Christ’s word and work,
