Ora et Labora in action. Due to Covid-19 lockdown regulations, Brothers of the Congregation of Missionaries of Mariannhill remained at Abbot Francis House in Merrivale, KwaZulu-Natal, instead of going for their winter break. Instead of resting at home, they renovated the formation house and undertook other chores. This included making stools from trees they chopped as these blocked Internet reception for their online classes. (Photo: Fr Bheki Shabalala CMM)
