HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES MANSARAY. WE LOVE YOU!



Little did we at Nazareth House Apostolate know that at the first meeting of Fr. Seraphim and James Mansaray(shown above April 2000) in Sierra Leone, April 2000, that so much would develop and be accomplished in Sierra Leone. A beautiful history to unfold. James is a son to Fr. Seraphim and I, as much a member of the family as if he had been born of the same blood.



This young man, pictured above, giving us the thumbs up, fresh out of high school, joined us in Nazareth House and has become an intricate and most valuable player in helping those in his country to rise above the horrid of poverty.

If there was any one person that NHA had to put their money on to follow through and accomplish a task that will in turn benefit others, it is Mr. James Mansaray.


Together with his beautiful bride, Kadijah,



Nazareth House gives thanks to God for placing the both of them in our lives. We can't imagine what our life would be without them in it.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES! WE LOVE YOU DEARLY.

GO TO THE BEACH AND ENJOY YOUR DAY!
