Jason Turk (Chairman of the Board of
Directors) and John Becker (Founding President Worldwide Seminarian
Support), sincere thanks for yesterday’s e-mail. On my part, may I
express my thanks to the Board of Directors of Worldwide Seminarian
Support for congratulating me as the successor of Fr. Amedeus Macha.
I did not expect to be elected, but when it happened, I said: let
God’s will be done. I appreciate very much your concern to ALCP/OSS
Society. It brings joy and hope when while having an important
events like the General Chapter and elections, you know that there
is someone behind praying for you.
I am really encouraged to hear from you that
you will continual to support the ALCP/OSS spiritually and
materially. I have to confess openly that without your financial
support the priests and the seminarians we have now would not be
there. You have contributed a lot to make our Society grow. God
alone can compensate you. We shall continue to pray for you and your
families so that God will pour abundant
blessings
on you. I will try to arrange
my timetable so as to be able to attend 15th anniversary
mass of Worldwide Seminarian Support. The Secretary General of the
Society is Fr. Innocent Masaule. He will be responsible with all the
communications with WSS. In case you need any information, please
