Once again, the students of MTO Shahmaghsoudi®, School of Islamic Sufism, took part in the parish festival of St. Maria in the Benden community. This year the festival marked Father George’s 10th anniversary of ordination. The mass was accompanied with African music and the songs were sung in German and African as Father George had came from Africa and joined this community later.. The visitors of the mass enthusiastically sang and applauded, as typically done at an African Mass, according to Father George.
After the mass, the visitors of the parish festival were able to enjoy Persian desserts and black tea at the MTO® stand. The festival had various culinary dishes, drinks and a rally for children with many attractive games to offer.
It was also very nice to talk to old friends again. We are proud to be considered as part of the big family and look forward to next year’s festival.
