“I know many people look down on farming. But seeing the displays here and what knowledge about proper farming techniques can achieve is exciting. It’s something I’m interested in” – Charles
For his dedication to his flock, Father Ponventura Luatuanu’u was given a car by his Malie Mafutaga o Tinā Catholic Church Parish.
The car was given to him following the morning Mass last Sunday.
Deacon Paulo Mulipola cut the ribbon on the car and presented the gift on behalf of the parish.
Church member Le’aupepe Malelega Leafa said the church members had always wanted to buy a car for Father Ponventura.
“We finally did it,” he said.
“Father Ponventura comes all this way during the week, especially on Sundays from Saleimoa for our masses, but he had no car."
“So we thought about it and decided that this might be the greatest gift for him especially since today is Father’s Day in our country."
“Thank you so much for everything.”
Father Ponventura acknowledged the congregation for their thoughtful gift and for their support.
“I am very thankful for this gift, this car will be very useful in doing God’s work,” he said.
“May our Heavenly Father continue to bless you all in everything."
“Fa’afetai! Fa’afetai tele lava!”
