They organised a pizza party for the kids, built a wooden Jenga game for them as well and most importantly, on their 40th wedding anniversary, Michael and Janet renewed their marriage vows at the Saturday morning children’s mass. It was a lovely moment.

Brian is a friend of Fr Ole’s and came to see us from his home in Singapore. He is a qualified counsellor and works a lot with teenagers. During this visit, he spent a lot of time with our staff, helping them to examine some of the challenges they regularly face in taking care of so many troubled children. These sessions were extremely interesting and valuable for some of our staff.
