Missionary Sisters of St Paul, Myanmar
|
|
A lesser known aspect of the work of Fostering Local Church Leadership is the support it gives to the formation of religious sisters and brothers in the mission territories. This support is particularly given to the local congregations who have no access to ‘back up’ from overseas. This is critical in countries such as Myanmar where the Church can feel very isolated.
Bishop Charles Bo founded the Missionary Sisters of St Paul in 1990. The congregation now has 80 professed sisters and 12 novices.

The statement calls for an end to violence in Zimbabwe. “Free and fair elections cannot be held in an atmosphere of intimidation, torture, and abductions.” While the country is preparing to re-run the elections the bishops appeal to other African nations in the region, along with the rest of the world to stand by the people of Zimbabwe. The bishops praise the Church in the country and ask that the people of Zimbabwe “remain vigilant and continue to raise a prophetic voice against all cases of social injustice.”... more
