Benedict Moila - passed away on Wednesday 15 December 2021 at Elim hospital
He lived at Muwaweni Village in St Scholastica’s
Parish.
It is sad news indeed for us in the Diocese of Tzaneen.
Benedict Moila served in the diocese in many different ways.
He was a Catechist and Pastoral Worker for many years
in the Diocese. He spent many years on the team at Ave Maria Pastoral Centre.
He also served with the Jesuit Refugee Service established
in Makhado in 2008 before the Jesuits closed the office in 2015. This was a
very humble service of love in providing food, clothing, shelter and spiritual
support for the refugees who came from different African nations.
A prayerful man of deep faith and commitment to
Christ, he even organised a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2012 which was
greatly appreciated and inspiring to all the 25 pilgrims.
There are many stories and good memories of Benedict
Moila and his ministry in the Docese of Tzaneen and in St Scholastica parish as
long serving Catechist.
He will be deeply missed by all.
Requiem mass is on Tuesday 21 December 2021 at
3:30 pm at St Urban Catholic church and the burial takes place the
following day at 6:00 at his family home.
We pray especially for his family that the Lord may
bring consolation to all who are grieving.
May the Lord grant the soul of Benedict Moila eternal
peace and the grace of heavenly joy and light.
