 Shashemane (Sion Mariam) Parish was started in 1972. Since that time, it has seen a constant growth in the number of Christians, both in the Parish and in the outstations.
Due to this reason, the Parish Priest, Fr. Silvio Sordella (Imc) saw it necessary to expand the existing Church which could carry a capacity of 400 people. Recently the expansion work was completed and now the new Church has a capacity of about 700 people, well-seated. |

 Archbishop Baltazar Porras Cardozo warned Venezuelans this week that the constitutional reforms proposed by President Hugo Chavez are leading the country towards a dictatorship similar to the Castro regime in Cuba or the Pinochet regime in Chile.
The archbishop recalled that democracy is based on the balance of powers and that many of the reforms proposed by Chavez are inspired by Communism. What is even more dangerous, he said, is that the proposals would make Chavez another Pinochet or Castro, “who are not the models of democratic virtues.” |
