The lady says,"It's a good idea to use the disposal plates..save the ladies from doing the washing up."

Mr. Hollis Awell has time to pose after taking an active part in the Ordination Service. Next to him is Irene Jonathan Bedindang,whose husband gawa ngaga duit ba menua 'prika.

Mr. Joseph Fam,mentua Fr. Stanley & Victor Lee,still making the peace sign.

...unlike last night where only the 'Levites' were seen attending the pre-Ordination dinner for the newly ordained priest,Fr. Alfred Damu,this morning not only the 'Levites' came but also the 'Pharisees',the 'Samaritans' & the 'Gentiles' came for the Priestly Ordination. (I was borrowing words from the Lord Bishop's speech ) The service was very well attended followed by a light refreshment provided by the MWF.

You are now ordained priest.....

Yes, Deacon Alfre Damu Bulang is officially ordained a priest. You may now call him Revd Fr. Alfred Damu. Here,the Lord Bishop & invited priests including Fr. Nelson Ugas, Fr. Stanley,Fr. Rundi,Fr. Ramden & the Vicar praying over Fr. Alfred.

Taken outside of the gate.....

..besides the newly instituted Vicar of St. Columbas Parish,Venerable Archdeacon Solomon Chong who sang at the top of his voice in wishing Bishop Bolly's wife,Mrs. Mary Jean Bolly, I think I was among the top 10 loudest in singing the birthday song while at the same clicking away to catch some sweet moments. As I was almost getting into my car, I heard another round of Happy Birthday song being sung again,this time a birthday cake with candles was in sight but I was already getting ready to drive so I did not manage to get a snap of the moment. Anyway, Happy Birthday to Mrs. Mary Jean Bolly & may God continue to bless you.
