In 2012, the SMA resumed their presence in Sierra Leone, bringing with them their zeal for the mission and the most abandoned. Today, their journey continues as they open new missions across the country, expanding their outreach to pastoral care and education. In this bulletin we hear about the work of Fr. Peddy Sinda who is part of this new chapter.
We also hear about events in the Benin Republic where the SMA and OLA gathered in Porto Novo for the opening of the celebration “En route towards 2026”. This opening marks the beginning of a year-long celebration of:
– 150 Years since the Foundation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles.
– 200 Years since the birth of Fr. Augustine Planque (2nd Superior General of the SMA and Founder of the OLA).
– 170 Years since the Foundation of the Society of African Missions.
