Rev. Fr. Dr. Dr. Linus Nangwele, FOUNDER OF RESOLVE INTERNATIONAL Transforms Birthday into a Day of Giving for Widows and Children in Kalsegra
KALSEGRA – Nadowli-Kaleo District, Upper West Region – May 3, 2026 – What began as an ordinary Sunday mass in the modest Catholic Church of Kalsegra quickly became an extraordinary celebration of selflessness. The pews were filled not only with worshippers but with a palpable sense of gratitude, as Rev. Fr. Dr. Dr. Linus Nangwele turned his belated birthday into a heartfelt mission of charity.
The revered Catholic priest, a native of Kalsegra, originally marked his birth on April 30. But instead of a private celebration, he chose May 3—following a thanksgiving mass in his hometown—to share a meal and his blessings with the community’s most vulnerable. Breaking bread with widows and children, he offered not just food, but joy and fervent prayers.
Fr. Dr Dr. Nangwele, known as much for his generosity as for his spiritual leadership, seized the occasion to reaffirm his dedication to those in need. After mass, he personally distributed meals, refreshments, and cash gifts to dozens of widows and children gathered in the church courtyard.
“My birthday is not about counting years—it is about counting blessings and sharing them,” the priest told the crowd. “To see a widow smile, to keep a child in school—that is the best gift I could ever receive.”
The event offered a quiet but powerful glimpse into the priest’s long legacy of benevolence. Parishioners and community elders shared that Fr. Dr Dr. Nangwele has quietly paid school fees and accommodation costs for countless struggling students across the district for years, often without any public recognition.
One widow, holding back tears, spoke of his impact: “Father has paid my grandson’s school fees for three years. And today, he remembered us once more. We pray that God continues to bless him.”
The celebration concluded with a shared lunch and a prayer session for the priest’s continued health and ministry. For the people of Kalsegra, May 3, 2026, will be remembered not for its place on the calendar, but for a priest who turned his birthday into a blessing for the least among them.
