REMEMBRANCE DAY: MAMA FLORENCE KHASOA SIMIYU ONE YEAR LATER
REMEMBRANCE DAY (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. (“At the 11th hour” refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919

Coincidentally, this is the very day we celebrate one fallen heroine Mama Florence Khasoa Simiyu
This REMEMBRANCE DAY is Special in many ways as we choose not to forget the service mama gave to the Catholic Church and humanity at large. It reminds us that Mama Florence on top of her being a teacher by profession, she was a staunch Catholic and a deep-state for that matter having risen to the rank of Assistant National Chairlady of Catholic Women Association (CWA) a position she used to immensely grow it’s membership. CWA is ultimately a troop of Catholic religious soldiers
⛔️ *Mama Florence’s REMEMBRANCE – 001 is scheduled to be held at her Ranje Home on 11th Nov 2022 from 8am. Her mass will be conducted from by Father Jeremiah*
