Thanksgiving Mass at St Michael Cathedral marks the end of Good Tour

After a one week extension on the opening of Public Universities it has been necessary for Good News Choir to Sing a special mass where the Good Tour started at St Michael Cathedral, The Cathedral with a powerful English community. This mass was so special for it was a Thanksgiving mass for what the Lord has done for Radio Maria Rwanda through Germany Christians who contributed a lot on the MARIATHON of Radio Maria Kibeho. This mass was also broadcasted live on Radio Maria Rwanda and Germany.

The clergy that facilitated the mass was headed by a Germany Priest who heads Radio Maria in Germany, since the beginning of the mass he never ceased to say how glad he is to be here in Rwanda for it has been ages since he dreamt of coming to Africa and finally the first country he visited is Rwanda. Though Good People had only 5 days to prepare this international mass 50 chorists who were present today did what the Lord wanted them to do where they sang a number of good songs that helped people to connect with God like Ain’t got time to die, My soul’s been anchored, Sinogenda Ntashimye,.. This mass was attended also by a number of people with big names in this Country namely John Rwangombwa the governor of National of Rwanda, Rosette Rugamba former Director of ORTPN (currently RDB), honorable ambassadors …

In his speech the chairman of English community Mr. Denis he quoted St Augustin “He who sings well praises twice” where he stressed on the fact in singing there’s praying, praying and it doubled.
