What we want

We received letters from building committee members asking for individual or group donations to help them re-build the Kebena Kidane Miheret church.

We would like to quote from the message of the Brochure we received from Addis Ababa.

“So go to the hill…. and rebuild the houses. I shall then take pleasure in it and be glorified there.” Hg.1:8

The Kebena Kidane Meheret Catholic Church, was built in 1922 and still giving service.  And yet due to the age and increase of the believers, the church needs to be rebuild. Therefore we request to all her children and devoted, within the country and abroad to help us build a new church for our Lady.

The Kebena Kidane Meheret Catholic Church Coordinating Committee.

The construction of the new Church is already started and we want to help them in any way we can. Some of us have already sent our individual donations.  We found out that the fund which was already sent was not enough and we are trying to find a way to raise fund.

The Website of Kidane Miheret was launched on the Annual Feast Day of Kidane Miheret, that is Thursday, Yekatit 16 (February 23, 2006).  www.kkmcc.org

We would like to discuss with all of you when and where the Fund Raising will take place.  Many suggested to make it in New York.

Some members already donated items to be raffled and Tickets will be on sale starting the Feast Day of our Lady. Cost of each ticket is $5.00, proceeds will be sent to their account in the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia.

Prayer to Mary, Help of Those in Need

"Holy Mary,
help those in need,
give strength to the weak,
comfort the sorrowful,
pray for God's people,
assist the clergy,
intercede for religious.
Mary all who seek your help
experience your unfailing protection.
Amen."

Our Father..., Hail Mary... and Glory to... (3x)

OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP, PRAY FOR US !

Consecration to Mary

"O Mary, Virgin most powerful and Mother of mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves to thine Immaculate Heart.

We consecrate to thee our very being and our whole life; all that we have, all that we love, all  that we are. To thee we give our bodies, our hearts and our souls; to thee we give our homes,  our families, our country.
We desire that all that is in us and around us may belong to thee,  and may share in the benefits of thy motherly benediction. And that this act of consecration  may be truly efficacious and lasting, we renew this day at thy feet the promises of our Baptism and our first Holy Communion.
We pledge ourselves to profess courageously and at all times  the truths of our holy Faith, and to live as befits Catholics who are duly submissive to all the  directions of the Pope and the Bishops in communion with him.
We pledge ourselves to keep  the commandments of God and His Church, in particular to keep holy the Lord's Day.
We  likewise pledge ourselves to make the consoling practices of the Christian religion, and above all, Holy Communion, an integral part of our lives, in so far as we shall be able so to do.
Finally, we promise thee, O glorious Mother of God and loving Mother of men, to devote  ourselves whole-heartedly to the service of thy blessed cult, in order to hasten and assure,  through the sovereignty of thine Immaculate Heart, the coming of the kingdom of the Sacred  Heart of thine adorable Son, in our own hearts and in those of all men, in our country and in all  the world, as in heaven. so on earth. Amen."
