What is this Partnership all about?
The mission of the Wa-St. Bede Mission Partnership is to sustain a long-term relationship of respect and solidarity, by sharing of life and ministry, characterized by mutuality and spirituality.
St. Bede the Venerable Parish is located in La Cañada, California, USA, and the Diocese of Wa is located in Upper West Ghana, West Africa.
On What Kinds of Projects do the Partners Collaborate?
Fall 2008 and some of 2009 were spent developing a mission statement, a vision, and goals for the Partnership.
In Summer 2009, the Partners are discussing ways they can work together to share in and enhance each others' lives. Some ideas have included letter-writing between students and parents, scholarships for girls and underserved students to attend high school, people exchanges, liturgy-sharing, and boreholes for easier access to water.
Underlying any individual project, however, remains the Partnership's fundamental goal to share our lives and friendship with each other.

Less than a week before we leave for Ghana and I know how excited everyone on the team is. And we are encouraged by the wonderful support from the parish community. Thank you for Fr. Kevin for the beautiful commissioning ceremony and may the Spirit continue to guide us.

I have finished the DVD of the "Greetings from the St. Bede Community to the People of Ghana". Can I post it here or do we need a YouTube link? Any experts out there?

This is a great format to exchange comments, ideas, questions, etc. Never done this before. I pray that I can truly be a good representative for our parish community. I will try to listen and observe very carefully.
