Feast of Our Lady of Africa – Trentaprile

Saturday the 22nd of April, the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa in Rome invited the Missionaries of Africa to join them to celebrate – ahead of schedule – the feast of Our Lady of Africa.

The project of the “Pope Francis” village to remember his visit in 2015

Bangui (Agenzia Fides) – A village called Pope Francis as a meeting place for the various religious communities of the Central African Republic. This is the project that is being studied by the Vatican delegation of experts for Central Africa, in collaboration with the Center for Religious Confessions of Central Africa (PCRC).

“The Pope declared Bangui the spiritual capital of humanity. He opened a holy door in Bangui. It was the first time in the history of the Church that a holy door was opened outside the Vatican”, said Martin Nkafo Nkamitia, Director of the Department of Studies for the Promotion of Central African Cultures and head of the Vatican delegation of experts for Central Africa. “These are insights that cannot be ignored. That is why we have thought of creating a permanent memory of Pope Francis’ visit to Central Africa, a village that will be the meeting point of all the religious communities in Central Africa. It is a big project but we will succeed”, he said.

We were priviledged at the General House to have a short presentation by Jos on his reasearch. Sorry for those who do not understand English.

Live from Jerusalem… 2000 years later

The least we can say looking at the pictures the confreres sent us is that the celebration of Palm Sunday is a big event in Jerusalem… Of course it would be because it is precisely there that Jesus entered as King in order to save us.
