On Sunday 9 June Boitumelo Dominic Magoro was ordained a deacon by Bishop Joao Rodrigues in Dwars River Parish. Of special significance was the testimony about Deacon Boitumelo's family background and the pioneering missionary work by his grandfather,the late Mr J.Magoro, who initiated and organised the first Catholics in the Dwars River region.The first holy Mass in that region was celebrated on 31 August 1934 at the Magoro's home.Deacon Boitumelo has a brother who is also an ordained priest,Fr Martin Magoro. It was a wonderful celebration and people came from as far as Phalaborwa and Thohoynadou to witness his ordination. Deacon Boitumelo is now serving in the parish of St Scholastica.
May the Lord continue to protect and sustain him in his life and may his ministry be blessed with the fruits that will last.
