I would like to publicly thank The Malta Independent on Sunday for publishing the letter sent to you by my friend Dr Joe Zammit Ciantar with an appeal for help towards the Mission in the Diocese of Garissa, Kenya (14 October 2012).

Through your paper I want to thank also your readers – both those who responded with generous contributions and those who morally and spiritually may have supported and are still supporting the Mission run by the Maltese Capuchin community in Kenya. Your participation in helping us run this Mission is sincerely appreciated.

You are all in my prayers.  Thank you all.

Mgr Joseph Alessandro OFMCap

Coadjutor Bishop of Garissa
