Ivory Coast - Yamoussoukro
The preparation of the feast of St. Felix, celebrated on February 12th is well underway. A large image of the saint has been painted in the church by a young Ivorian painter, Placide.
He has reproduced an image created by Fr Francesco Radaelli, scj, who wanted to portray the martyr (Felix is one of the 49 Martyrs in Abitene 304) laying down his life for the One who created him. The youth spent one day recollection in the village of N'Gbessou-Allangoua: Fr Arsene and Br Armel guided them with a meditation on the theme "with St Felix, let's serve Christ the King for the self-support of our parish" combining the theme of the feast with the one of the pastoral year.
