CHURCH PERSONNEL TO ATTEND WORKSHOP ON 'LAUDATO SI' AND MINISTRY IN SOUTH SUDAN
The Religious Superior's Association in South Sudan (RSASS) will hold its annual conference later this week (April 27-30, 2016) in Juba, South Sudan. Some 76 Religious men and women from across the country are expected to attend this assembly.
During the workshop, participants will be looking into Pope Francis' Laudato si' guided by the theme "caring for our home: reflections on 'Laudato si' and its implications on Religious Life and ministry in South Sudan".
After the three days workshop RSASS will held its Annual Assembly on 30 April.
The workshop will be facilitated by Fr. Manny Ginete. Fr. Peter Knox, the Principal of Hekima College, in Nairobi, and Sr. Rosemary Oduol of Wau, are among the speakers at this conference.
The encyclical Laudato si' (literally "Be praised" or better, "Praise be to you"), dated 24 May 2015, was officially published on 18 June 2015 and is the second encyclical of Pope Francis. It has the subtitle 'On Care For Our Common Home'.
