Aden- Yemen: We have some shocking news from Yemen. This morning around 8.30 am Al-Qaeda/IS entered the Mother Theresa’s convent in Aden and killed 9 people including four MC Sisters.
Presently we have no information about the whereabouts of Fr. Tom Uzhunnanil SDB, who too was in Aden when the incident took place. Seemingly they have taken him along, but this is still to be confirmed. We had a call from Fr. M.K. George SDB, who is currently in Hodeidah. We are trying to establish the facts from various sources.
It is a Salesian mission and MC sisters place. The Salesian missionaries and the sisters are from India. Kindly pray for them.
The Salesian provincial of Bangalore province requested all those who can spend half an hour before the Blessed sacrament to pray for the mission and for the safety of other missionaries in the area.
