Lenten Retreat
Our Sister Justine gave a lesson on the qualities of good leaders In our Diocese of Moundou, all Christians go on a retreat in the bush every year during Lent. It is a time of contemplation and reconciliation awaiting the joy of Easter. At Notre Dame de la Trinité High School with all the students, we went to devote this time to prayer. The theme of this year is “People of God of the diocese of Moundou, let us work together for our Liberation”. This theme aim to see together what makes the population slaves and what oppresses them. These are among others: conflicts between farmers and breeders, lack of cooperation, lack of charity for one’s neighbor and betrayal. Together teachers and students, we have seen that for this liberation to be effective, we need solidarity, love for each other, transparency, mutual aid and always be guided by the…

Sport and International Women’s Day in Tchad
Schoolgirls in Tchad At the Notre Dame de la Trinité school, where two of our sisters work, there was a soccer match between the girls of this school and those of another neighboring school in preparation for the International Women’s Day. On the very day of this beautiful celebration, our students demonstrated their talents through songs, poems and sketches. It was a good opportunity for women to express their desire to collaborate with men in the administration as they recognize that most people in the public service are men. This is because there are many who still have the mentality that women should be at home taking care of children and doing housework. Here is the coordinator’s message on behalf of all the women of Deli: “As a result, women were once neglected by their husbands, their brothers, their parents and even the State in decision-making, in the workplace,…

A child’s prayer
From Sister Clémentine Mukampabuka in Oran, Algeria In my catechism class, there are around twenty children, aged 6 to 12. For the most part, these are children born in Algeria to parents in an irregular migration situation. For catechism, the most advanced join the youngest to form a single class. During a session, I offer them the opportunity to pray out loud. One of the prayers caught my attention: Lord, I ask you to release my dad from prison and give him a lot of money to come home to us!” A concrete prayer: I recognized this child. He is only 7 years old. He was born in Algeria to a Nigerian and a Cameroonian. I ask myself Where is home for him?” I visited his father in prison. I can list many things that I recognize; whatever, the Lord knows him. He answers our prayers, especially those…

The joy of “moving towards”…in Burkina Faso
Hello dear sisters! I come to share with you in a few lines, our joy of “moving towards”…Manga, on Sunday December 6 when we visited our aspirants. We, Julienne Bouda and Hélène Kavula, left for the Diocese of Manga, to meet our three aspirants. As they came from different villages located more or less at a distance of 8 km from the parish, we asked them to meet us in Basgana. A catechist there was also celebrating the Word of God. When we arrived, the celebration had already started so we went to the chapel to pray with the Christians. I participated in this prayer because everything was in the Moré language. At the end of the prayer, the catechist invited us to introduce ourselves. Each of us stepped forward and said which mission she was in. Then, we took the opportunity to present the Congregation and invite the…
