Missionaries of Africa
Fr. Gérard Chabanon, Superior General
Visit to confreres in Uganda
3rd -16th April 2009

in Kapac, Diocese of Moroto Uganda.
Karamoja

Since saturday 4th April 2009 we are enjoying the visit of Gérard Chabanon, Superior General and Rudi Lehnertz, Provincial, in Tapac Parish in Karamoja. Yesterday, we celebrated the Palm Sunday together... That was in the morning. But in the afternoon...we killed the fatest bull. Elders welcomed our two superiors in a traditional way. In the valleys, sous l'arbre magic. Women came to the parish at 2pm and in long procession of about 1 hour, they let visitors to the elders who were sitting under the traditional tree. Celebrations continues with dances, music, songs.
