| Partenza per la scuola dei catechisti Depart pour l'école des catéchistes |
These days, the three "Schools of catechists" have opened in our diocese: training centers where catechists and their families will live and study for the next 6 months to prepare for this mission. The catechist, in our Christian communities, has a great importance; in addition to teaching the catechism, it is he who directs the daily and Sunday prayers (in villages where the priest can only rarely go), it is always he who advises, guides and helps the village to grow in faith and charity.
It's a big mission, and it's always nice to see them off: leaving the village is a challenging step!
On Sunday I went to celebrate Mass in Barka Bongo, 43 km from Boaro, and I took the opportunity to pick up the catechist and his family and take them to Baoro: this is where the "school of catechists" will live, together with 15 other families from all over the diocese.
The catechists started their courses on Monday. But their wives also underwent a series of training in order to stand out and help the women of the village. The afternoon is generally dedicated to training in sewing and wool processing.
An activity that Sister Biagina follows with enthusiasm, with her 48 years in Central Africa!
It is with her that I went to Bangui on Wednesday, because she has to leave for Italy for treatment. We accompanied her with prayers for her health and with the hope that she will return.
In Bangui, work on the new convent is moving along. With the carpenters we continue to lay the door and window frames, meanwhile the others concentrate on forming the last part of the slab.
