Events in the Vicariate of the Ivory Coast
In the Vicariate of the Ivory Coast important events took place in the month of September.
First of all, from 2 to 7 September, the religious of the Vicariate had their annual retreat on the theme: "Mysticism of the Exodus", preached by Fr. Sévérien Lath (Eudist).
It is an important and demanding task to leave a "comfort zone", the self-centered habits and go to the mission and meet the brothers. For us, Betharramites, it is really a renewed appeal for an interior conversion in order to foster this “incessant fermentation”.
On September 8th, the day of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, two young novices, Emmanuel Assanvo and Fulgence N'Guetta, made their first profession in the hands of Fr. Jean-Luc Morin SCJ, Regional Superior. Fr. Théophile Degny N'Guessan SCJ (Vicar in Ivory Coast), the Betharramites of the Vicariate, their respective families and many friends were also present.
Finally, on September 14, Br. Yelouwassi Cossi Habib SCJ, Bro. Ouedraogo Joseph SCJ and Allelet Gnaoré Vincent Didier SCJ, made their perpetual profession. The vows were accepted by Fr. Gustavo Agín SCJ, Superior General in the presence of the religious of the Vicariate, families and faithful of the St. Bernard Parish of Adiapodoumé.
We extend our best wishes to our brothers for their mission. May they always know how to "go out" to return to the "source of the charism" where they can renew the profession that today they have made with enthusiasm.
