Glory to God! It's nice that they consecrated the land on the day of Saint Pimen the Great. Father Iair Atieli seems like a hardworking man – let's pray that everything goes well with the new church in Mbololo.

It is good that the land was blessed on the day of Pimen the Great. Father Yair Atiel seems to be a real business man, as they say. God grant that they will soon build a church in Mbololo.
