From the 5th January 2016 to the 16th January 2016 I had the privilege to visit the Chad- Cameroon Mission of our Province together with the then Provincial Rev. Fr. Jose Kumblolickal and Fr. Joshy Thazhathukunnel, the Provincial Bursar. We were cordially welcomed at the Yaounde Airport by Frs. Manoj Arckal and Sujith Pallassery. At La Feuillette, our Minor Seminary and the Mission House, Frs. Manoj, Emil Amougou, Bipin Xess and Sujith are staying together with the minor Seminarians and the theologians. Bros. Ajish and John Joseph are also there learning the French Language and the culture of the people. We had the opportunity to meet our Confreres in common as well as personally. We celebrated the Holy Eucharist with the people in the parishes where our confreres are rendering their services, such as Ekkoundum, Ekekam and Ebang. It had been a wonderful opportunity to share their life and faith.

We visited Frs. Thomas Moongamakkal and Christophe at Buea in the Anglophone speaking area of Cameroon. Fr. Thomas is the Chaplain of the University Chapel and the parish priest. Fr. Christophe is assisting him and doing university studies. At Ngaoundere Frs. Giridhari and Marcel are rendering a wonderful service as university chaplain and parish priest. We are also running a school in Ngaoundere. We visited our mission in Chad both in Doba and Bero. At Doba Frs. Robin and Parfait are rendering a commendable job as parish priest and manager of the school. At Bero Fr. Sandeep is the parish priest and the director and manager of the SFS Boys’ Home. Fr. Kuldeep is rendering his service in the East Africa Province.
