“CENTRE OF MERCY” Medical Clinic Update

Dear people of God, we continue to praise God for His Mercy and Love for this center of Mercy clinic that is in its first stages of construction.

It will serve women in Uganda who often lose their lives and their babies’ lives due to lack of medical facilities in the remote villages of Kamwenge, western Uganda.

The Ground Breaking, Grading and leveling the ground (Phase one) was completed and we appreciate your support.

We have started the next phase of the FOUNDATION Construction with the digging of trenches.

Your donation, in any amount, will help make an impact for LIFE: God Bless you.

Fr. Denis

Every day after Mass, I do either 30 minutes or one hour of Adoration. As I was in Adoration in deep prayer, this is what I received: ‘The Lord was telling me about the small seed that grows to be the largest tree where birds of the air come and find shelter.’ This was in relation to Padre Pio’s thought that ‘A seed has been placed in the soil, which He will warm up with the rays of His love.’ This was during the inauguration of the Casa in 1956.

My interpretation of what I received in adoration was that the “Centre of Mercy,” with its humble beginnings, will grow and be a sigh of relief for so many — the reason I compare the two centres of God’s Mercy.

In 2016, while doing community needs assessment and social work in Busiriba, Kanimi, one of the remote villages in western Uganda, I witnessed how many children, women and men were living below the poverty line and were facing life-threatening challenges, such as hunger, the lack of basic needs of life, most especially, food, shelter, clothing, lack of education and health care. 

I started conducting some charity work within the area, and was later joined by other passionate friends who have extended support due to the increase of day-to-day community needs that required an extra hand.

From my daily updates on Facebook for all my friends, who are not in Uganda to know and journey with me as far as work on the ground is concerned, I can say that, “The Lord is Merciful.”

From the Bushy hills in the remote villages has come a ray of Hope and Mercy, with the Lord Blessing his people with a school called “Mary Queen of Peace.”

In the early years of Padre Pio’s mission, he found himself surrounded by sick people and he never closed his eyes to physical illness. He considered the doctors as a necessity… He didn’t seek refuge in agnosticism that is ignoring the body to only confide uniquely in prayer, and he insisted that they be cared for. Padre Pio stated: “...In every sick person there is Jesus who suffers. In every poor person Jesus languishes. In every poor sick person there is Jesus who suffers and languishes twice over...”

I was inspired to extend God’s Love to these people, not only in prayer, but also caring about their physical health.  The words of Padre Pio give us more reasons to have this facility of MARY, ARK OF THE NEW COVENANT- CENTER OF MERCY CLINIC constructed in the bushy hills of the remote villages of Uganda. What a resemblance of the 2 hills! I take it as an affirmation of God’s Will in Uganda through the Holy Spirit’s kindness. 

This clinic is greatly needed and it will be lifesaving. 

As we begin this season of Lent, think about supporting this cause that will save many lives.  

Your donation, in any amount, will help make an impact for LIFE.

GOD BLESS YOU
