On the afternoon of the 25th, during the celebration of the Eucharist, some Brothers renewed their temporary vows and two postulants made their official entry into the Novitiate. Brother David Rasero offered a few words of congratulations and encouraged the Brothers to ensure that each one becomes a vocational animator.<br \/>\nHowever, the main day was the 26th, the feast of Saint Anne, patron saint of this African part of the Province. Almost all the Brothers living in Africa \u2013 some 80 in total \u2013 were present to celebrate this feast and, this year, to accompany Brother Ars\u00e8ne Ker\u00e8 as he made his perpetual profession.<br \/>\nThe highlight was the celebration of the Eucharist, presided over by Monsignor David KOUDOUGOU, Bishop of Tenkodogo. The hymns, which had been carefully prepared, were performed by the aspirants, the Brothers and other groups. Before the assembly, Brother Ars\u00e8ne Ker\u00e9 gave his \u2018yes\u2019 to the Lord for ever. Brother V\u00edctor Sawadogo, the Provincial, received the vows and publicly affirmed the Brother\u2019s permanent membership of the Congregation. The traditional dance was also performed to express the joy of the occasion.<br \/>\nAt the end of the Eucharist, Brother Ars\u00e8ne himself addressed those present, as did Brother David Rasero, Vicar General, and the Provincial, Brother Victor, who congratulated Brother Ars\u00e8ne and thanked the Brothers, family members, men and women religious, and members of the Sa-Fa Family for their presence. All those present took part in the family meal hosted by the Brothers.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;29493,29498,29508,29513,29518,29523,29528,29533,29538,29544&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 26th, the feast day of Saint Anne, patron saint of this African part of the Province, Brother Ars\u00e8ne Ker\u00e8 took his perpetual vows during the celebration of the Eucharist.
