church loosing members cause of priest

Honorable greetings his grace Buti Tlhagale. I would like to inform you of the happenings at the cathedral. The priest in which you placed at the parish has turned the chapel of our lady into a society get together,he evens tell you how much money people should give in ofettery and as you may know this is what makes people to leave the catholic church because we can't the money he demands, it is also known that the celebration of Christ the King has also been changed and is no more fun and exciting as it was in the past year. It would highly appreciated that you sort out this issue before it gets before it gets to the pope. We would like to be in contact with you
