The view of the church in Cameroon

Matti Foncha, a member of the club and an all around good guy, returned to his native Cameroon during December. He shot a video at his parish as the faithful brought 'The Word' to the altar. Talk about joy-filled.  Check it out.

The occasion was the first mass at home (our street!) by one of our neighborhood sons who was ordained in the Archdiocese of Detroit 18 months ago. He is returning to Detroit later on this month. I could not convince him to move to Atlanta and come serve in our church!
This is a special procession to carry "The Word" to the altar during Mass. Music and dance are from the Kom tradition in Cameroon and the occasion was the celebration of Father Francis Moma's first Mass in his home mission station, St. John the Baptist. Fr. Francis concelebrated the Mass with Archbishop Cornelius of the Bamenda, Cameroon Archdiocese.
