As all the Missionaries of Africa, as well as theirs sisters, the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa, were celebrating, throughout the world,  the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, official feast of our two institutes, the two communities of Rome were celebrating around the two Superiors General and their council. Here is the homily given on the day by Father Stan Lubungo.

Ten days from the Feast of the Society, the anniversary of Cardinal Lavigerie’s death is always an occasion to give the first place to the one who had the vision for our Mission. Father André-Léon Simonart gave us the homily during the Solemn mass of Cardinal’s Day.

Follow the calendar of Ordinations to the priesthood of the young Missionaries of Africa confreres.

We were sad to hear of the deaths of our confreres and especially for our communities not to be able to say goodbye to them in the usual way. Today, it is a song of thanksgiving that we address to God for their long lives consecrated to the Mission in Africa and for the African world. The youngest among them in missionary life had fifty three years of missionary oath and the oldest seventy two.

In memory of all our confreres who have returned to the Father from the period of lockdowns, a Mass will be celebrated in the Chapel of the Generalate of the Society in Rome on Wednesday 16th of September 2020 at 18:00 hours. Join us on this day, wherever you are, in praying for our confreres.
