St. Luke’s parish priest honoured by parishioners on Father’s Day

Fr. Wamatuti receives gifts from children of the parish

The Catholic community from the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette at Pointe. Michel in the parish of St. Luke, on Father’s Day showered gifts on their parish priest, Fr. Peter Wamutitu.

Fr. Peter has been the parish priest of that community for the past seven years and recently, the parish of St. Mark which is Soufriere/Scotts Head and Gillion was added to his list.

First, he was presented with a gift basket by a few members of the parish and then a newly formed men’s group dubbed “Brothers of La Salette” presented him with a plaque as the “Father of The Year.”

“Brothers and sisters, this newly formed men’s group, Brother of La Salette will be awarding every year one man for his outstanding commitment and hard work within the church community of La Salette,” leader of the group and choir master, Kerry Lawrence, stated.

According to the group, Fr. Peter has given “outstanding, selfless, relentless, dedicated service to our church community of La Salette.”

Carrol Activille, a lay associate in the church, also read a citation before presenting Fr. Peter with another “Father of the Year” plaque.

“He is dedicated, he is selfless and has led his parishioners as a true shepherd. For this we say thank you and may God continue to lead and guide him,” Activille said.

    Jesus said in Matthew 23:9 “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.”

    Telemaque, you so eager to prove yourself right you make it wrong all of the time.

    First of all, in the days of Jesus, one Earth, even if the Jews were supposed to be His people, they maintained the concept of “religion” which was built on works, not faith, that is why the plotted to kill Jesus because He would not follow their religion. God can only be glorified by our faith, the channel by which He uses us for that same reason.

    That is the reason the apostle John tells us: “He, Jesus came to His own but His own did not receive Him” The Jews still practice the religion to this day.

    The Levites in the Bible, are the children of Levi (one of Jacob or Israel’s sons), whom God chose to do the work of the Temple; they were His priests. The Tribe of Levi is not recognized as having other tribes; that would be too complicated.

    Stop challenging people when you are not certain of what you are saying, it might fall back in your face.

      But, But, But, Elizabeth, why don’t you leave me alone?

      You said you doh know me; I just want to make people think I know someone as important as you; you claimed I am a nobody, so why you keep focusing on me after you told DNO doh post me thing on dem site?

      You see how you like trouble? 

      Read my comments correctly and stop pretending you are an authority on God word; you might remember I said when Jesus was on earth, he did not preach one single word to us Gentiles.

      Remember I said when the Jews rejected him he authorized the word be brought to the Gentiles.Hence, his words came to us via Paul the Apostle!

      I reiterate, in Jesus day, and until Paul, and Christianity, there was no denominational church such as Roman Catholic, Pentecostal, Methodists etc.

      A Church; are the members who accepts Jesus, and congregate to worship him; hence, a church is identified according to location: i.e. “The Church in Samaria”

     “Brothers of La Salette” presented him with a plaque as the “Father of The Year.”

    How on earth can a man without a wife, without any children be a father, never mind to be father of the year?

    None of Jesus disciples were called “father” they were not called bishop, priest, or reverent.

    They were called by their name, they had wife’s and children!

    If he want to be a father he must get him a wife and have children; for God said it is not good that man should be alone, hence he took a rib from Adam, and formed Eve to be a woman companion to Adam; hence they had children, causing the world to be populated.

    God said; go into the world be fruitful and multiply; that means in money and wealth (materialistic thing), and having children!

    Some men are born Eunuchs, but it a sin for one to deprive himself the love and use of a woman!

      My brother, when I read the headline, I thought the same. How can a man, who is not married, has no children, be honoured on Fathers’ day? If he needs to be honoured, he needs to be a father with children. That’s how people who do not use critical thinking believe and never question certain things. Posing with these little girls as if he is their father! Where were the fathers who should be honoured? The man has sexual needs just like every other man and that’s how children are born. Not even from a rib from Adam to form a woman. Every one who has been and are on this planet, has been or are here through a man and a woman who both had sexual intercourse. Any other belief is total mythology as far as African Studies. My people, use the imaginations that you were born with. Stop having men control your minds! As the late former head of the United Negro College Fund coined the phrase, “a mind is a terrible thing to waste.”

    “the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette at Pointe. Michel”

    @VJ what are you saying? That they are not Catholics? So where did the Title above originated?

    However, since you claim that yours and theirs are both religion, can I tell you that “religion” is not of God? The problem is that the majority of people in those religious groups do not know that, including you; but God is quite unhappy about the teaching, and worshipping of those groups–because He is against idol worshippers

    The Statue of Mary is an idol; so is the Lady of La Salette–you all do not glorify God by your worship, but that is what He wants us to do.

    So He said: These people honor Me with their lips but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines, the commandments of men” That is what religion does.

    God’s Church is the gathering of faithful Christians who maintain a “spiritual” relationship with Him; it is not about works.

    I hope that your soul is not lost, your good for nothing. All of you fake a** religions just form for your personal gain but your religions will never compare to the Roman Catholic Religion that is why you all hate us so much. The Roman Catholic Religion was the first and will definitely be the last one standing.

      First of all, It’s not a competition..religion won’t save anybody. Jesus is the one who saves. Trust in God and not in religion.

      VJ; don’t be a fool; it is not about religion, it’s about God, and ones personal relationship with God.

      And if you are talking about false religion, the Roman Catholic religion is the most false religion on the planet.

      False doctrines is all the Roman Catholic preached.

      When a sinful man some so called pope tells another man if you want to be a priest you cannot have a wife, that is false doctrines out of a false religion.

      You cannot quote a single scripture out of the bible where it prohibits any priest, or minister of the gospel of God from having a wife and children.

      Beside if that man so called farther of the year without children, is truly a priest; I suggest you identify which tribe of Levi is he from, or within which tribe of Levi he was born!

      Just because a thing appears to be gold, does not make it gold!

      The Roman Catholic religion manufactures homosexuals, pedophiles; and child molesters; be quiet!

      And here is another brainwashing lie, about Roman Catholic religion was first!

      If you were not an ignorant brainwashed individual you would know that in Jesus day, there was no Roman Catholic Church by name or any other religion by name!

      There are only two different types on people the Bible recognized and we are Jews and Gentiles.

      When Jesus was on this earth, he never preached one single word to the Gentiles, he preached only to the Jews; when the Jews rejected him, he permitted the word be brought to the Gentiles.

      He allowed the word to come to us through Paul the Apostle:

      Somehow or the other the false teaching roman catholic said Paul was the first pope.

      I challenge you to find the word pope in the bible; and let me inform you the word pope simple means “papa”  or father okay!

      In Matthew 28; God said call no man on earth father; and I’ll let you ponder on that.

      Church in the Bible is not denominational!

      You chose an apt name except you should have added a d at the end. There are other names I could suggest for someone like you but they can’t be published here and a mind like yours I doubt is productive enough to come up with them.
