\"Official<\/a>This academic year at Fraternit\u00e9 Lavigerie announces itself with a blessing of thirteen new community members. Among the thirteen, two of our brothers are originally from our province (SAP). These are: Michael Mpindo (Malawi) and Moses Simukonde (Zambia)<\/strong>. We are very happy of their being part of our community. For this reason, we wish them a warm welcome at Fraternit\u00e9 Lavigerie. Akwaba to you our brothers! Our community consists of 37 members, 33 candidates and 4 formators.<\/span><\/em><\/address>\n
The official opening of the academic year 2014-2015 for our community took place on Friday 19th <\/sup>of September 2014. In order to mark our Eucharistic celebration with the event of the day, it was presided by Fr Jean Bipendo who was celebrating his birthday. In addition, we were equally happy to witness to the declaration of intent of nine second year brothers. For this reason, we address our congratulations to Martin Kasongo (Zambia), Fredrick Mulenga (Zambia) and Peter Nyirenda (Malawi). We wish them all the best of luck and may the good Lord continue nourishing their intelligence in their Theological studies so that they become his true servants tomorrow.<\/span><\/em><\/address>\n
This year\u2019s uniqueness presented itself in the way our community project was formulated. \u00a0With the help of the image of a tree, we formulated it. In fact, as compared to previous years, this approach was new and was equally appreciated by a good number of community members. In this case, we officially inaugurated our theme for the year. Here it is: \u201cVivons Notre Arbre\u201d which literally means \u201cLet us live our tree\u201d. To symbolize our theme in a special way, we planted a mango tree just after the Eucharistic celebration. This was done in our community compound. It was after this symbolic action that we continued with our celebration outside the dining hall. We wish our community of Fraternit\u00e9 Lavigerie a happy and successful academic year 2014-2015. We pray that the Lord helps us build a community worth of its name: Fraternit\u00e9 Lavigerie.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/address>\n
