Mission to Africa



Despite of the great distance of Uganda and the danger of Ebola Virus that now plagues the Northern part of Africa, Br. Aldi Bureros, SSS remain courageous in answering God’s call to serve our Ugandan brothers and sisters in Central Africa.

Br. Aldi left for Uganda last June.  As a Scholastic in his Pastoral Year, he will be staying in Uganda for the next ten months. As of now, he is the Uganda community treasurer aside from helping the Parish which the SSS-Philippine Province administers in Uganda.

“Mission is always there in our midst. It is opening our heart to find God where ever we are. Sometimes, we try to avoid this mission because it is always challenging on our part since there are so many things that we need to surrender just to make ourselves totally available for the Lord.

I think, to be open for the invitation of the Lord is the key to follow Him. Discipleship means to trust fully in the providence of the Lord and to serve Him with Christian JOY despite of our personal shortcomings to fulfill this great task from God.

Let us always remember that MISSION is the work of God. With this, I see myself as a humble co-worker in God’s vineyard. It is not only me or the other missionaries who are called; but even you, you are also called by God. Your mission starts at your very own doorsteps.”
