Echoes of the Mission: Region of the Gambia
KUNKUJANG MARIAMA, MOVING ON!
Kunkujang Mariama is located in the southern part of The Gambia. It is a Marian sanctuary where, every year during Lent and on the first Saturday in December, the Diocese makes two national pilgrimages. It was in September 2009, that the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary opened a new community in Kunkujang Mariama. Sr. Sarian Juliana Gomez and the late Sr. Catherine Gibba were the first Sisters assigned in this mission. Today, there are 5 sisters and two pre-postulants in this community to continue the work of our Blessed Foundress, Marie Rivier. The sisters have an active role in the ministry of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Kunkujang Mariama.
Teaching is a passion for the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. In Kunkujang Mariama, the Sisters teach in the Primary and Senior Secondary schools. They prepare the children for the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation, a service of love which gives joy to the community.
Working with the Missionary Childhood, the youth, the Associates of Blessed Anne Marie Rivier and with the children of the Oratory at the Don Bosco Youth Center, is a grace and a thanksgiving. We thank God for the good collaborative spirit that exists between the Presentation of Mary Sisters, the Salesian priests of Don Bosco, the Catechists and the entire pastoral team.
We give God all the glory.
