Catholic Church and Shrine of St Etheldreda, Ely

Warmest greetings from Siem Reap!  There have been so many details to attend to especially now that the government has allowed everything to go back to normal after difficult times when our lives and activities were restricted and suspended.  Many people have suffered.  Now we could meet each other freely.  Our children and youth are looking forward to the school opening in January.  Our churches are getting back to normal activities.  And our lives can start again.  We are filled with hope in the new year even as we somehow worry about the scare of omicron.  But we are a people of Hope.  God is born and dwells with us to protect and rescue us, to give dignity and joy in our lives.  This is probably the reason why the New Year comes very close after Christmas, a time to strengthen our resolve for life, a time to hope, a time to start again, because God is with us.  So in behalf of my Cambodian community, Happy New Year of our Lord 2022 to you. Fr. Totet

Considering the recent concerns about Covid Omicron, this has been cancelled.
Hopefully it will be back with an even bigger bang in the future!
