AMECEA Justice, Peace and Caritas Department has organized a two-day meeting for all the National Caritas Directors within the AMECEA Region to deliberate on ways of better collaboration for the development of the region.
According to the Coordinator of the Department, Mr. Antony Mbandi, the meeting which is scheduled to take place in Nairobi Kenya on 22nd -23rd September is an implementation of one of the 18th Plenary AMECEA Assembly Resolution, which required AMECEA Secretariat to be more involved in Caritas activities within the region, and build more synergies between Justice Peace and Caritas.
“During the meeting we are also going to discuss the Papal Encyclical Laudato Si and see how best we can engage and collaborate as a region towards the care for our common home,” Mr. Mbandi said.
It is anticipated that participants will have a Eucharistic Celebrations to mark the day of World Peace Day which officially falls on 21st September. The Secretary General of AMECEA, Rev. Fr Ferdinand Lugonzo is expected to be the main celebrant.
The meeting is supported by the Catholic Agency for Oversees Development (CAFOD), a long term partner of AMECEA Justice Peace and Caritas Department.
