On Monday, September 8th, 2025, the Celebration of the Entrance at the Novitiate of Six young people took place in the Oratory of the Dapaong Novitiate, after Two Weeks of waiting for the Three Congolese Postulants who had not been able to arrive for Administrative Reasons.

They were welcomed into the Congregation by Brother Benoît MAPAYENE, Councilor and Delegate of the Visitor of the Saint Paul District of West Africa.

While wishing them a Fruitful Year of Novitiate, we hope that the young Congolese would join the Group very soon.
