The new appointments become effective from the 1st September 2014, 22nd second week of our Liturgical year A.

May I also inform you about Fr. Giorgio Massa IMC an Italian member of the Consolata Missionaries who will be joining the Diocese of Manzini in the next few weeks. He will be residing at the Bishop’s House and assisting at the Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral. He served the Church in South Africa for more than 40 years.

Meanwhile may I request all priests involved in these appointments to make some introductions on the following but not limited to:

  • Parish Community and Sunday and weekday Mass schedule

  • Register of the Sacraments

  • Finances and signing powers

  • Parish Pastoral Councils and lay organizations present in the parish.

  • Projects (if any) being held at the Parish for instance who is running it and the administration.

I have requested Fr. Jeconiah Mahazule (Vicar General) to be present in the different Parishes when the handover is being done. Where it won’t be possible for him to be present Fr. Sakhile Ndwandwe (Bishop’s Secretary) will be present.

With sincere thanks for all that you are doing in the Diocese!

Yours in Christ our Lord

Bishop of Manzini
