Share Lent 2016: Visitation Parish’s Children’s Church Program Réunions… The 3rd week of our pilgrimage finds us in Indonesia. The word kampung has come to mean ‘slum’ in the local language, but its original definition is ‘community.’ Your support for Share Lent means that Try Mopurto, who lives in a kampung, has been able to renovate his home for his family, despite suffering from mental illness. The community is coming together to support him and his family. “My home is my heaven,” he says, “because here we feel the meaning of brotherhood in the social life of the kampung.” Carême de Partage 2016: La troisième semaine de pèlerinage nous transporte en Indonésie, où nous découvrons les kampungs. Bien que ce mot désigne aujourd’hui un « bidonville » dans le dialecte local, il voulait à l’origine dire « communauté ». Grâce à votre appui au Carême de partage, Try Mopurto, qui vit dans un kampung, a pu rénover la demeure familiale, et ce, en dépit de ses problèmes de santé mentale. La communauté s’est ralliée pour lui prêter main-forte, ainsi qu’à sa famille. « Ma maison est un paradis, dit-il, car la vie sociale du kampung nous procure un réel sentiment de fraternité. » are invited to attend an important information meeting on March 3rd at 7pm regarding our upcoming Parish Picnic.
