30th April Patronal feast of Our Lady of Africa

Cardinal Lavigerie reminds us that “he could never do any good without the intercession and the special protection of the Blessed Virgin from whom he often felt the effects in an extraordinary way. He believed that the missionaries of Algiers would never do anything except through her assistance.”

(Lavigerie to his missionaries, p. 101)

 

On this day we celebrate the presence of Our Lady of Africa in our apostolate, in our mission, in our congregation.

This year, we want to remember her through the visit of Pope Leo to the Basilica in Algiers, with a series of photos taken from the video of his visit in April 2026.
