The Apostolic Vicariate of Francistown
Contributions to the Propagation of the Faith helped to support the work of missionaries involved in primary evangelization in Francistown, Botswana.
Funds were used to carry out many tasks within the Diocese including building several simple mission churches, caring for the poor and the vulnerable and also supporting the training of catechists.
"We depend upon your support to help us carry out what we do as a Church in addition to the most basic daily needs. The building of chapels and rectories continues as we are a young church with many physical infrastructural needs. Know that we pray for you and your contributors every day."
