Ethiopia: November 1 - 8
On November 1 I continued on to Addis Ababa to visit Fr. Donald Haggerty, a New York priest newly assigned to teach moral theology to Ethiopian seminarians at the Capuchin Institute of Philosophy and Theology. It was a real blessing to stay with the faithful friars who run the institute. Fr. Don and I then travelled through Gode across the desert to Kelafo to meet Fr. Christopher Hartley and four Missionary of Charity Sisters who are making Christ and the Church present by bringing relief to the thousands of Somali refugees who have fled through horrific suffering to the primitive camp that has sprung up in Godere, within sight of Somalia. Later, back in the capital, I was able to speak with Auxiliary Bishop Matheos, Fr. Daniel of the Capuchins and the Brothers of St. John about possible evangelization activities in Ethiopia on future trips.
