Celebrating A Remarkable 2015 Holiday

Devoted Catholic youths of Archdiocese of Harare from Saints Agnes and Alois converged at Holy Trinity Kuwadzana Parish last Sunday as they were celebrating the life of a great martyr Agnes who was too young to be punished yet old enough to be a martyr.

Urney celebrations take place this evening URNEY GAA Club has enjoyed many victories throughout its long and colourful history but rarely has it tasted success as it did in 1990. It was the year the St Columba’s scooped their first ever Tyrone Junior Championship title while their reserves secured both the Reserve Championship and league glory. Later, another remarkable character, John Radcliffe, joined this extraordinary group. Radcliffe was born in 1652 in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and at the tender age of 13 years was admitted to University College, Oxford, where he spent several years being educated in various fields and later qualified as a doctor.

Hundreds of them gathered in their traditional colours, blue and white with pride and confidence, revealing what they are taught through principles and values of the Saint Agnes which are rukudzo, rudo, moyo munyoro, kuteerera… with a lot of excitement.
Rev Cephas Shambare in his presentation on the theme talk “Imi muri vanhu vatsvene makasarudzwa naMwari (Duet7:6) highlighted that St Agnes became a martyr at a tender age because of her commitment to God through prayer therefore it is our mandate to do likewise as we belong to her family. “Prayer to a Christian is what water is to fish” he said.
