Africa and Madagascar Plan 2011-2014
The Redemptorists work in thirteen countries in Africa and Madagascar and on a daily basis serve over 2.2 million people. The Redemptorist Conference for Africa and Madagascar through two Assemblies held in Ouagadougou in 2010 and Nairobi in 2011, sculpted a Pastoral and Resources Plan through a participative strategic planning process. The plan acts as a catalyst to advance the dynamic and energetic mission of the Redemptorists to bring good news to the communities and people we serve with a special preferential option to accompany and support the poorest and most abandoned.
Redemptorist priority themes 2011-2014:
The Conference has identified four specific priority themes:
- Integral Evangelisation of the Poor;
- Justice, Peace and Reconciliation;
- Formation for Mission;
- Organisational Restructuring for Mission;
