After a Sunday of rest with good weather in the spring sunshine, the delegates of the 20th SMA General Assembly continued the third phase reflections on formation, spirituality & lifestyle, administration and finance.
Today journalists from Vatican Radio came to conduct interviews relating to the SMA General Assembly and our missionary work in Africa.
The title of the report of Saturday, 27 April 2013, 19th day of the SMA General Assembly is based on the meditation of the day which invites us to change the way we look at matters. This meditation was given by Father Malachy Flanagan, Irish SMA. It was also the anniversary of the independence of Togo and we had a special thought for the Togolese people and for all SMA confreres working in Togo.
