REPORT ON THE COMMEMORATIONS OF THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE BIRTH OF CARDINAL CHARLES LAVIGERIE 2025.

Dear readers, long-time friends of the Missionaries of Africa,
This issue of your magazine is exceptional in many ways. It reaches you a little late because we wanted to share exclusively with you a report on the various commemorations that were recently held to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Cardinal Charles Lavigerie.
We invite you on a journey that will take us to three countries. The first report is from Brooklyn, New York, the second from Quebec, the third from Querétaro, Mexico, and finally Montreal.
The year 2025 has therefore been, for all the Missionaries of Africa, White Fathers and White Sisters, a rediscovery of our missionary calling. We share with you both our enthusiasm for the mission, here and now, as well as our sincere thanks for your unwavering support of that same mission.

We pray with you that 2026 will be a year of blessing and renewal in a spirit of hope.
