Dear Sisters and Associates,
With great sadness, we inform you the news of the passing of our beloved Bishop Emeritus Boniface Setlalekgosi. He was 92 years old. It is Bishop Boniface who invited the SCNs to Botswana. He had been a great support to our life and ministries in the country. We have lost a dear father and a friend.

He served my country well, his prayers sustained Botswana. We pray for his soul and thank his family for sharing him with us.

Sisters, it was a great honor to meet Bishop Boniface when we had
our first meeting to decide what ministry we, SCNs, could offer to
the people of Botswana. His support was essential in helping us
decide how we would be able to minister with and for the people.
His presence will be missed but know that he will intercede for
us and the service that we will continue to provide with the people. Know you are in my prayers. Dot Jackson
I am filled with much sorrow over the death of Bishop Boniface. I loved Bishop Boniface and had the privilege to serve with him for many years when I was a Missionary in Botswana. Bishop Boniface was a holy and wonderful man who love his people and the Sisters of Charity. It was great BLESSING for our congregation when he visited us here in the US many years ago. I praise God for him and his blessed and inspirational life of love and peace. He certainly is now a Saint of God in Heaven! I praise you, Loving God, for your beautiful and wonderful servant, Bishop Boniface. Sister Patricia Huitt, SCN
