Welcome to our exciting second part episode on the Redemptorists' mission in Burkina Faso and West Africa! Today, we dive into the rich history and vibrant present of these dedicated missionaries in a predominantly Muslim country with deeply rooted Islamic culture.
Despite the challenges, the Redemptorists are committed to fostering peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between Christians and Muslims, by engaging in inter-religious dialogue, working on peacebuilding initiatives, and fostering friendship and social harmony.
In spite of having only 80 members, the Vice Province of West Africa is seen as one of the promising areas for the Redemptorist mission globally. The priests are also being sent out of Africa to France in what we may refer to as reverse mission.
Join us as we explore these inspiring stories and the impactful work in West Africa. Do not miss this exciting episode!
