'Act the Gospel, not just say it'.

According to Father Tom Mafora; ‘My belief is we need to act the Gospel not just say it’. And this is what he has and at the age of 69 is still doing. He is passionate about the needs of young people; he has been active in the Siyafundisa initiative and been involved in various Garden Projects. He chairs the group at St Anne’s Stilfontein which engages in effective ways with community needs. He emphasises the importance of training and for this to be not just something for the church but for the whole community. He now has new parish responsibilities at Hartebeestfontein where he is setting up new community ventures. He speaks of Father Bisigo - now at St Andrews Lichtenburg, as someone whom he had hoped would assist and take on new resposibilities in this area of community development.
