African Catholic Voices

We present to you our guest host, Fr Ruffino Ezama of the Comboni Missionaries. Currently, Ruffino is the Provincial Superior of the North American Province. His conversation partner in this episode is Mother Alice Drajea Jurugo, the Superior General of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Sisters, based in Juba, South Sudan. The Sacred Heart Sisters were founded by the Comboni Missionaries in Sudan in the 1950s.
In this episode, Fr Ezama and Mother Jurugo discuss the recent apostolic visit of Pope Francis to the DRC and Sudan. They join their voices to that of the Holy Father in calling on all people especially the political leaders to become serious about bringing peace and abundant life to the people of South Sudan and the Congo. Everyone is called to become committed messengers of peace, hope and faith through a change in worldview, practices of forgiveness and reconciliation, and embracing a lifestyle that promotes peace, harmony and humanity!
