It is indeed a big disaster, and we feel deeply shock when it occurs upon lack of care. It has quite common that high-rising buildings are being built following no building code of Bangladesh. Reasons whatever it is behind of that, it is causing enormous loss of valuable lives.
We mourn the death of all innocent lives that lost following the collapse of the nine- story building at Savar, Dhaka on 24 April, 2013. It is reported that around 150 people so far have been killed by the incident and that number is escalating.
We request the concern to take the issue seriously as we don’t have to see it again.
May we pray for the bereaved families and the peace of the departed souls.
On 24 February, 2013 three persons were consecrated as Deacon. Rt Revd Paul S Sarker conducted the ceremony through a service on the premises of St Peter’s Church in Kaligram. The persons ordained as deacons were, James Baroi, Cornelius Mondol and Adhir Gathia. Revd Shourabh Pholia delivered sermon in the service. He said we all are servants of God. God exists in His greatest creation of humankinds. The servant who does not serve the people he/she is not a servant of God. The servant who does not love the people he/she doesn’t love God. For serving people, a good relationship with God is essential. We should not forget that we are servant of God over the whole span of life.
