The Afrique Australe (AFA) Provincial Assembly was convened, and the confreres defied obstacles and agendas to participate. In addition to being a moment of the challenges’ awareness and seeking paths of hope in the Province, the Assembly was a moment of reflection and preparation for the 16th CICM General Chapter, scheduled in 2023.
The Provincial Assembly of the AFA was held at the Thabor Spiritual Center in Kananga, DR Congo, from May 2 to 6, 2022. 45 confreres were present. Our confrere, Mgr. Félicien Ntambue Kasembe, bishop of Kabinda, facilitated the Assembly.
