{{The First Lady, Mrs. Jeannette Kagame will be the Guest of Honour at the Mushaka Parish’s 50-year jubilee, to be celebrated in Rusizi District on August 4th, 2013.}} <\/p>\n
Over 6,000 people are expected to attend the celebrations including Catholic church leaders, government ministers, senators, MPs and Mushaka community members. <\/p>\n
On this day, Ildephonse Maniragaba will also be ordained as a new priest.<\/p>\n
Mushaka Parish has since 1963, constructed schools, health facilities and supported vulnerable families. <\/p>\n
To build on Rwanda\u2019s national unity and reconciliation program, Mushaka Parish introduced a unique approach to helping Rwandans recover from the consequences of the Genocide against the Tutsi. <\/p>\n
Since 2009, 140 Genocide survivors and perpetrators have completed 6-month sessions where they are taught how to live together fearlessly and heal their broken spirits, using biblical principles.<\/p>\n
Genocide perpetrators who participate in this program are temporarily banned from church activities such as receiving eucharist and getting married, until they complete the sessions. <\/p>\n
Today, 10 Mushaka community members are being re-integrated back into the church after successfully completing the 6 month session.<\/p>\n
To date Mushaka Diocese has 59,912 church members and is one of 14 parishes that make up the Catholic Diocese of Cyangugu. <\/p>\n
The Diocese is led by Monsignor Jean Damascene Bimenyimana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
