Paroki Keluarga Kudus Apouwo celebrates 15th anniversary

Holy Family Apouwo Parish celebrated its 15th anniversary with a service at the parish church on Friday, September 18, 2026. Deacon Theodorus B. Iyai, the leader of the parish pastoral team, led the service alongside catechist Herman Magai.

The celebration included members of the parish pastoral council, the parish finance council, teachers, students, and parishioners from the parish service area.

During his sermon, Deacon Iyai described the 15-year history of the parish as a period of growth similar to a teenager. He told the congregation that building the parish requires patience, involvement, and shared responsibility. He noted that this work involves more than physical construction and should include creating a peaceful life, supporting one another, and participating in service.
