Italian Power-man Farewell
On July 27, an Italian volunteer bids the diocese farewell here at the St. Peter compound in Gizo after helping to restore a solar power system.
He's Mr. Alverio, and he works really hard, day and night, getting data by communicating with the boys from Solomon to Italy. During his three weeks here, he was able to fix the pastoral center and Moli School's electricity. Noro Parish also had the benefit of having him twice for their solar system.
During the farewell dinner, Fr. Dominic Soloko expressed gratitude for his availability and a gift from Italy for the diocese.
He stated that while bishop emeritus had accomplished many things for our diocese, sustaining them was the other concern. He stated that after the system failed, we were required to pay a high-priced Solomon Power bill. With Averio we shift to lower cost.
He adds that we will continue to pray for you, bishop emeritus, Paola, and the other Italian volunteers and benefactors.
Finally, everyone thanked him for his safe travels to Italy.
