PIME Education Support in Mongo

A Look at the Gamba Community's Former Chapel

PIME U.S. Mission Director, Fr. Daniele Criscione, walks us through the Gamba community in the area of the mission in Tikem, Chad, to their former chapel.

Constructed primarily of sticks, the faithful of this community gathered at this chapel in the shadow of a tree often, until a more permanent, sturdy structure was funded by a PIME U.S. Supporter through the PIME Chapel Program.

Around Mongo

Lycée Saint Oscar Romero

Fr. Sleeva Palli, PIME, manages the Catholic schools for the Diocese of Mongo. A primarily Muslim area of the country, Catholic schools like this one are the only educational resource for girls in Mongo, as parents generally don’t prioritize their education. The Lycée Saint Oscar Romero educates some 500 students - 200 of them are girls.

Catholic Schools in Mongo

Our PIME U.S. Mission Center Team of Fr. Daniele Criscione, PIME, and Michelle Regner visited even more Catholic schools in the Mongo - which are managed by PIME Missionary Fr. Sleeva Palli.

Demand for education is so high in the area, that many schools are building additional classrooms to meet this need. You can really see (and hear) how eager and joyful these students are!
