Help needed for repair and construction (Our Lady of Perpetual Help) Church of Degra Mereto. 

The Kidane – Mehret (Our Lady of Perpetual Help) Church of Degra Mereto was built in the year 1925 in the country of Eritrea. Eritrea is situated in the horn of Africa, a relatively ‘young’ Nation- State which gained its independence in 1991 after long years of war and conflict with its neighboring country, Ethiopia.  The Church has very few members due to the rampant migration out of Eritrea in recent years due to various social and political factors in the country. Sadly, Our Lady of Perpetual Help has been damaged during the past Ethiopian-Eritrean conflicts; heavy shelling has made cracks on the wall and the roofing is totally dilapidated and during raining season the leakage continues to damage the church building. This water damage has required parishioners to cover the sacred tabernacle and altar at times to avoid further damage to this Holy place, also presenting a health hazard to all those wishing to worship as these issues have resulted in moisture damage and the presence of mold. The members of the parish community are agrarians with limited resources for living, but they have the will to make sure that their Church is upkept to a standard worthy of God and continue to work their best to ensure the doors are kept open and make it a holy and sacred place of worship. The overall goal of this fundraiser is to:

1) Conduct a major amount of repair work to establish the Church as both a functional place of worship and community center. 
2) Restore the dilapidating state of the Church to a functional temple, free of water damage and signs of past Eritrean Ethiopian conflict. 
3) To assist the community in solidarity with their struggle to see their Church restored to a place of worship and communion in order to express their faith and heritage. 

May the Lord grant us the grace to persevere and have the faith in continuing to collaborate in the building of His Kingdom as we become truly His temple ourselves and also leave the trace of our faith for the coming generation as did our ancestors.  Presenting such project in our time of COVID-19 is not a simple matter.  But we believe that the Kingdom of God continuous to live and hence we too must continue to be and do what is in our capacity.  

God bless all our efforts for His glory.  

Thank you in advance for all that you will be able to do.
