Karuna Kengtung Social Service (KKSS) has set up a branch office in the compound of the St.Jospeh’s Church in Thiri, to help victims of the March earthquake as a long term planning move as well as to reconstruct damaged churches, boarding schools and nuns’ houses, says Claudia Win Myat, the project director of KKSS. Bishop Peter Louis Ca Ku of Kengtung Diocese, Father Stephen Ano, director of KKSS and Father Bosco Ya Byaw, the parish priest of St.Joseph’s Church in Thiri, attended the opening ceremony on May 1. Some 400 villagers from the quake-affected areas, parishioners from Thiri and Karuna staff also joined in. ZY14069

Help UCA News to be independent
Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
