Missionaries of Africa celebrate the release of their confrere Ha-Jo

An evening of gratitude and joy reigned at the Generalate today, 18 January 2024, when the Missionaries of Africa and the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa gathered for a Mass of thanksgiving. The reason for this special celebration was twofold: the release of our confrere Ha-Jo and the presence of Father Pier Luigi (Gigi) Maccalli SMA, himself held in captivity in Niger for more than two years before being released in October 2020.

Ha-Jo, Dominic and Paul  17/1/24

It was not God’s will that Joseph should be sold by his brothers, nor was it God’s will that the three confreres should be abducted, but God can use such events for his loving plan for the world. Who knows if I was not more useful in captivity than physically present!

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2024

May the birth of the Prince of Peace trigger in us and in all people of good will, actions that promote freedom and happiness for those who are deprived of them.
