Vendredi 11 novembre 2016

Arrivé le mardi 8 novembre à Ivato aéroport d’Antananarivo, le Supérieur a pris durant trois jours une part active à la Conférence des Frères Visiteurs de la RELAF.

Au sommet de cette colline se trouvent précisément le sanctuaire dédié au bienheureux Louis Rafiringa et le postulat du District.  De cette hauteur, avec la ville à vos pieds, s’offre à vous une très belle vue des alentours. » Read more
