A spiritual preparation for the Christmas celebration took place at Modonpur Credit center for domestic migrants, working in different factories. We had a really good program for our migrant brothers and sisters, offering confession and Holy Mass.
The Dhaka Archdiocese invited OMI Bangladesh to provide pastoral care for domestic migrants in the Dhaka-Narayangoan areas. Oblates agreed to lead this new ministry that will work with the migrants, most of whom are Indigenous. OMI Bangladesh is currently searching for someone to oversee this new mission and ministry. The Missionaries of Charity, (Mother Teresa’s Sisters) are cooperating with the Oblates to do this important work. Fr. Ajit Costa, OMI was appointed to look after the domestic migrants and now Fr. Subash Costa, OMI is the newly appointed person. Myself, Fr. Robi, OMI, Fr. Subash Costa, OMI and other Oblates have from time to time supported this new mission.

The last weekends of the Season of Creation were one of pilgrimage, planting and blessing. On Saturday, September 27th members of the Green Team at Sacred Heart Church, Oakland, joined the Laudato Si California Pilgrimage from the Newman Hall/Holy Spirit Parish at U.C. Berkeley to St. Mary Magdalen Parish to celebrate a Mass presided by Fr. Wilson Adelakasami SVD, cousin of Fr. Martin Savarimutu, OMI (India), who gave a sermon/class on Laudato Si and the prophet Amos.
On October 4th, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, we had a relic of St. Francis at the weekend Masses at Sacred Heart and that evening watched the movie “Brother Sun Sister Moon“. On Sunday, October 5th we hosted the annual blessing of animals and the planting of native milkweed seeds.
From beginning to end, we remained mindful of our vocation to care for our common home as we listened to the cry of the poor and of Mother Earth.
