Sister Stan Therese Mumuni runs the Nazareth Home for God’s Children in Yendi, Ghana. She cares for almost a hundred children, most with some level of physical or mental challenge. In the local custom, people associate anyone with a disability as having an “evil spirit.” If it is seen at birth, the babies are considered “spirit children” and a bad omen. This includes twins, like the beautiful boys pictured with Sister. Being born two at a time was enough to see the little ones rejected by their family and their village and abandoned.

With help from The Propagation of the Faith, Sister Stan has saved their lives. They will have a chance to grow up in safety and security and be educated in faith and love.

The heart of our faith is the Eucharist. With help from The Propagation of the Faith, all the sacraments are brought to an area of Papua New Guinea that did not know Christ until about 60 years ago. The locals will continue to embrace their own culture, especially while celebrating special events like this boy’s First Holy Communion, while learning how much God loves them.
