HISTORY OF THE GROUP
The Group first formed late in 1996 in Eltham, Melbourne, following circulation of a request from the Cathedral to provide support to a parish in Africa.
The idea of formally providing material and spiritual support to a Sister Parish in a third world country was eagerly accepted by Our Lady’s parishioners in January 1997. We were finally linked with St Kizito’s Parish at Chigoneka, Lilongwe in May 1997.
Money raised from various functions is transferred into U.S. dollars and provides a huge bonus to the development of their facilities. These funds have enabled St Kizito’s Parish to renew two churches, build accommodation for AIDS orphans, classroom shelters and a compound wall to keep intruders out of the grounds. St Kizito’s Feast day (3rd June) is celebrated by Our Lady’s Parish on the nearest weekend.
