May we all join with the people of the Diocese of Toliara, in celebrating the consecration of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, which will take place this coming Sunday, March 13. The preparations for this very special occasion are being undertaken by a Committee in Toliara.   Approximately 1000 guests are expected to attend, including representatives from the PRP Board; CMS UK; the Diocese of Canterbury; the Diocese of SE Florida; the Diocese of Albany; AMIA; ACIO; and other Bishops from FEEM in Madagascar.

There will be a special performance in Malagasy of Miaraka: A Time to Dance, the musical created collaboratively by Patsy McGregor and her friend Collette Maurel, on Saturday, March 12.

Greetings to all!

It is so exciting to see the progress of the Women’s Center – pictured below. As I mentioned to Bishop Todd, his great excitement may have been building St Patrick’s Cathedral, but I get really excited about the building of the Women’s Center. God is on the move and it is great to be a part of it!

Please join us in praying that God will provide the remaining $14,000 to complete the project.

God bless, Patsy+

• Cottage industries:
  • craft items to sell via Fair Trade, local tourist shops and churches in USA, Mauritius and UK.
  • making of sanitary pads so that girls will not miss days at school, as currently happens
• External kitchen, with water supply and cooking area
• Internal space for refrigerator and freezer
