The community beneath the shelter
The July 2026 mission report describes the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul being celebrated in Matalawe under a thatched shelter. The structure was being used for the Divine Liturgy, catechetical teaching and community gatherings.
The account places the existing faithful before the building proposal. The community is already gathering in prayer and learning the faith, and seeks a more permanent place in which that life can continue.
The intended church of Saints Peter and Paul
The same report sets out an intention to construct a permanent church dedicated to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul on that site, dependent on securing the necessary support. It notes the community’s willingness to contribute labour, while describing limited financial means.
The permanent church is a proposed next step for this community. Its project page follows the plan and the support being sought.
