Southern African Catholic Bishops: three statements

The plenary session is over! We finished yesterday morning and we all went back to our dioceses. 

During the last days we issued three statements that can be downloaded from this blog by clicking on the title:
These statements are also an invitation to be one in prayer. Particularly at the end of September, we are calling everyone to join the week of Prayer for Peace (21 - 27 September 2014) organized by the South African Council of Churches.

A collection will also be taken by the end of September in every diocese to support a children's home in Gaza.

Our next meeting will be at the beginning of September when two thirds of us will be attending a workshop on media in Johannesburg.

For any enquiries on these statements, Archbishop William Slattery OFM (SACBC spokesperson) can be contacted on: 083 468 5473.
