WEST AFRICA: MENNAISIAN CELEBRATIONS IN THE SAINT PAUL DISTRICT

Brother Etienne FAYE at the Saints Peter and Paul College in Aneho (Togo), during the Mennaisian End-of-Year Festivities.

The Celebration of Mennaisian Week, dedicated to Our Founder Father Jean de la Mennais, was celebrated late in Most of Our Works in West Africa due to certain Educational Constraints.

Several Activities organized by the Brothers, Teachers, and Students honored Father de la Mennais and offered Prayers for his Beatification. Sports Activities, Lectures and Discussions on the Life of Father de la Mennais and the Brothers, Games and Competitions, Modern and Traditional Dances, and, of course, Eucharistic Celebrations allowed everyone to fully experience that Special Moment dedicated to Our Father Jean Marie de la Mennais.
