It was an early church community experience to celebrate mass at the Sophia housing scheme. A plan to celebrate mass was fulfilled on Sunday last when Fr. Jerri with the help of Mr. Alfred Bhulai ventured in to this huge housing scheme. The mass celebrated in a small house sit-out; truly an experience of community among the most needy people of the area. There were about ten people, mostly home bound and elderly. They expressed the need to celebrate mass in their own community. They were grateful for the privilege of celebrating mass after a long. One of them expressed, 'God is truly present among us and he is coming to our homes in the form of communion.'
The Sophia housing area was missions to Fr. Jerri in order to develop and encourage catholic community. Hence, he with the help of St. Teresas parishioners is exploring different possibilities of establishing a catholic community. The Catholics expressed that there is need for that because some of them go to far away parishes or go denominations closer to their homes.
There will be mass every third Sunday in the mint at 11 am in the scheme. It will be celebrated in homes of different people. People interested are asked to contact St. Teresas parish for more details. We ask your prayers for these people in the scheme.
