The Catholic community of Ramotswa gathered in celebration to mark the 20th Anniversary of the priestly ordination of the then Rev. Fr Lawrence Ofentse Pheto. The memorable occasion was hosted by St. Conrad’s Catholic Parish, Ramotswa, under the Diocese of Gaborone.
The anniversary was a significant milestone, honouring two decades of priestly ministry, service and dedication to the Catholic Church and the communities entrusted to his pastoral care. Parishioners, clergy, family members, friends and members of the wider community came together to give thanks for his vocation and to celebrate the journey of faith and service that had marked his twenty years in the priesthood.
The celebration reflected the spirit of the Catholic community in Ramotswa, bringing people together in prayer, thanksgiving and fellowship. It was also an opportunity to recognise the important role of the priesthood in nurturing faith, strengthening communities and providing spiritual guidance.
Hosted by St. Conrad’s Catholic Parish, the occasion became a memorable chapter in the parish’s history and a fitting tribute to Rev. Fr Lawrence Ofentse Pheto’s 20 years of priestly service.
