Turning Dreams into Reality with Build the Faith
With Monica Lacouture and Fernando Dangond of Build the Faith
Joined by Fr. Gabriel Afumbom and Fr. Lesley Fonye
7:00pm in St. John Powers Hall
Please join us this Thursday, March 20 at 7:00pm in St. John Powers Hall for “Turning Dreams into Reality with Build the Faith.” The evening will offer a comprehensive introduction to our 2025 Lenten Gift recipient, Build the Faith, and their current project which our gift will support – the building of a church in the Archdiocese of Bamenda, Cameroon.
Monica and Fernando will share the story of Build the Faith, which was inspired by the unwavering faith in God exhibited by their daughter, Christina Dangond Lacouture, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the tender age of 6. They will tell us about the tremendous impact of Christina’s faith, and how it continues to bear fruit around the world, through church-building projects like the one we are supporting in Bamenda, Cameroon through our Lenten Gift.
Fr. Gabriel and Fr. Lesley, who both served as pastor in this community before joining us here in Wellesley, will share their experiences and talk about the critical need for these flourishing faith communities to have physical spaces to worship and to serve as centers of community in these unstable areas.
