MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR,
Welcome
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral Parish web site. We are one
of the two parishes located on Weno, Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia.
There used to be only one parish here on Weno until the Holy Family
Parish was established on July 30, 1986. Our main goal this year is
to deepen the faith dimension of the faithful through the use of the
Sacraments, especially through the Eucharist. We emphasize the Liturgy
of the Eucharist to be the center of the life of the faithful in this
parish. It takes time and patience but we are getting there slowly but
confidently through the loving care of the Immaculate Heart of our Blessed
Mother and of course, by the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Being the Cathedral of this Diocese, major events
of the Diocese are expected to be held here at the Church, but most
of the time in the past these events have been held else where due to
the lack of space in the Church. So the parishioners here are working
hard in fund raising and praying for dues from friends like you. When
the present plan of expansion of the church building goes through, we
will be able to accommodate 880 to 1000 more people inside the Church.
Thank you for your visit and I look forward to see
you again soon. We will have more updates soon with a lot of wonderful
pictures of the Parish life in action. See the IHM Youth in action as
they open their summer games next week.
God bless you.
Fr. Nick P Rahoy
Rector, Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral
