“I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ (Jesus).”  (Philippians 3:12)

A new year has begun and already the team has changed.

Our life is thus made up of departures and arrivals to respond to the Lord’s call for mission.

Departures…

Our group of brothers has decreased with two departures. Despite all that we have managed to build together during these two years, Brother Marie Van responded generously to the necessity of a priory to have a superior. For his part, our young Ethiopian brother Antonios left also to continue his training in Cameroon (Country which he already knows well and appreciates). We pray for both of them.

… and a return!

As for us, we rejoice at the return of Brother Lazarus of the Mother of God. He was on pastoral experience in Addis from 2019 to 2021. We will benefit from his experience in Ethiopia but also from all the training and experience he has received since then. He left us as a trainee, he came back as a priest!

New momentum

With this new team of 5, we bravely start the year by rolling up our sleeves for the challenges that await us. I’ll let you discover them in the following article.
