Info-Pac nr 73 (in French) – January 2018

Posted on by Vitus Danaa Abobo

Dans son message pour la journée mondiale des missions en 2017, intitulé « La mission au cœur de la foi chrétienne », le Pape François nous rappelle que « la mission de l’Eglise, destinée à tous les hommes de bonne volonté, est fondée sur le pouvoir transformant de l’Évangile. L’Évangile est une Bonne Nouvelle qui porte en soi une joie contagieuse parce qu’il contient et offre une vie nouvelle : celle du Christ ressuscité… » C’est dans cette optique qu’en tant que missionnaires de cette bonne nouvelle en Afrique nous commençons cette nouvelle Année 2018, année du Jubilé de 150 ans de notre fondation.

Round table in Rome on DRC and Sudan

Posted on by Vitus Danaa Abobo

On Thursday afternoon, 18 January 2018, a round table on South Sudan and DR Congo was held at the Urban Pontifical University, chaired by Cardinal Turkson, President of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human Development. It was a success! 450 participants!

Archbishop Utembi, President of the National Conference of Bishops of Congo (CENCO) emphasized the commitment of the laity and of the whole Church in the direction of non-violence, in firmness and dialogue. He promoted peace education. I myself insisted on the importance of never ceasing the dialogue whatever the violence of the State. Cardinal Turkson encouraged us all in this direction.

Bernard Ugeux, M.Afr.
