At their place

Greetings of Peace and Brotherhood,

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; everyone who seeks finds; and to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

(Matthew 7:7–8)

We give praise and thanks to Almighty God for His grace and presence, which have enabled the renovation plans for St. Mary Assumed into Heaven Watuneso Parish Church to begin. We respectfully hope for and request the assistance of the donors, brothers and sisters, to help finance the renovation of this church.

St. Mary Assumed into Heaven Church is located in Watuneso Village, East Lio District, Ende Regency,province east Nusa tenggara,Indonesia. St. Mary Assumed into Heaven Parish, Watuneso, belongs to the Ende Vicariate and the Archdiocese of Ende, in East Lio District, Ende Regency. This church was founded by Fr. Theodorus Yoseph Visser, SVD, in 1954. The church has now reached 72 years of age. Its physical condition currently requires major repairs, particularly to the roof and walls, so that the building can once again stand strong.

At the parish level, this church serves as the main parish church, which also consists of 4 outstations, 19 neighborhood communities, 65 Basic Christian Communities (KUB), and approximately 5,000 people.

To support the renovation of the church, the people of Watuneso Parish, in solidarity, have undertaken self-funded fundraising efforts. This means that the faithful voluntarily contribute funds from every family, including farmers, civil servants, small and medium-sized business owners, as well as widows and widowers.

Considering the church's already very concerning condition, we, together with all the faithful and the Church Renovation Committee, wish to repair this church so that it can once again become a proper place of worship for us to glorify God and strengthen our faith. We hope that this proposal will touch our hearts and encourage everyone to take part in making this project a reality.

We give praise and thanks to Almighty God for His grace and presence, which have enabled the renovation plans for St. Mary Assumed into Heaven Watuneso Parish Church to begin. We respectfully hope for and request the assistance of the donors, brothers and sisters, to help finance the renovation of this church.

This is therefore our humble request, with the hope that you may help us overcome the difficulties we are facing. For your assistance, cooperation, and kind understanding, we express our deepest gratitude.

May God bless you.
