Action at the Kindergarten

In the Gizo catholic diocesan  development program, the registration and upgrading of all kindergartens has a privileged place.
The KINDERGARDENS give the church an opportunity to meet young couples and help them to grow in their marriage relationship and in their duty to raise their children as good Christians and honest citizens...
The first of the kindergartens to be rehabilitated is the Saint Peter Parish Kindergarten, damaged by the tsunami and earthquake... The rising sea level and the frequent flooding has made the rebuilding a true necessity and priority for the people of Gizo.
In a ceremony this morning after the Sunday Eucharist, the ground breaking and laying of the cornerstone took place after the blessing of the ground.
The kindy now has a regular enrollment of a 100 students but could easily double its population as a result of the restructuring project.
The kindy teachers are undergoing qualification at the SICHE right now.
At the same time, several visiting volunteers will take care of the last touches of the church building: flooring, light and sound system...
The child Jesus will have a decent place to be born this year at Gizo and the children, his favorite friends will also have a place they can call their own...at the renewed St Peter's Kindy.

The catholic church at Gizo is happy to give its cooperation to all other churches to make Gizo a beautiful place to be...conducive to learning and growing as a committed community

Sincerely

Bishop Luciano Capelli, SDB

New Parish Priest for Gizo reflects on ........

Gizo Diocese has a new Parish Priest. He is Fr Vincent who is originated from Philippines.

Like other Priest from Philippine when asked to write his feelings about his new environment;

“Solomon Islands for me is a great and rich country with wonderful people I will liken it to a beautiful garden. A garden wherein the different beautiful color, shapes and sizes of flowers complement each other to make only one garden”…... He said that Solomon is rich in culture and tradition as there are different races and beliefs. Solomon however to prosper we must learn to be a garden.
