I am trying to find where St Giovanna Bakhita is burried. At the Convent in Schio?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm an Administrator working for Saint Bakhita Health Centre in Yei South Sudan. This Health Centre was found in 1998 by Malteser International, the Organization from Malta Island which in colaboration with the Catholic Diocese of Yei in South Suda. Malteser Programme has helped and is continues to help our poor people with free treatment of Tuberculosis, Leprosy and African Tryponosomiasis (African Sleeping Sickness).
As being a Sudanese and Saint Bakhita is also a Sudanese, many have accepted her Doctrines and believe in Her as our Mother and we look to her as our Servior.
