We are the same
Recently Maria Dolores paid a curtsey visit to the SMA Media International and we seized an opportunity to interview her and here is what she shared with us…
Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Maria Dolores Agúndez Leal. I am a lay SMA missionary, from the District of Spain. I am the youngest of five children. I was trained by the French Dominicans where I received a very good education; but at one point, I gave up the religious practice.
The SMA Library in Rome
The SMA Library in Rome is located in della Nocetta, 111, in the same place as the Archives. For this reason, over the years, a series of archival documents have been collected in the library.
For example, the Funds of SMA Fathers: Brésillac, Planque, Guilcher, Douau, Aupiais etc. ; the customary missions, parishes and seminaries; the registers, Carnets, Relations and manuscripts of the Ordinaries in mission land.
The future is built ... surely!
The death of Father Maurice Prat - a man whom I was afraid of as a student, but whom I subsequently appreciated - recently it made possible to update the "Little Biotteau" that we could call today the "Little Favier". And I became aware, once again, of the situation of our Province. We are now only 106 confreres; 7 of us are under 70; our average age is 82 years old.
The mission experience of Fr.Eric Aka
As a missionary priest one of the key elements is finding satisfaction in the missionary work entrusted to one despite the daily challenges. This gives a missionary priest something to look forward to and something to aspire for. Recently I interviewed Fr. Eric Aka over the same and here is what he had to say...
Reflection on the week of prayer for Christian unity
In response to the prayer of our Lord Jesus on the eve of his death that we his disciples be “One” (Jn 17: 1-26) efforts have been made to heal the plague of division that were eating away Christians. Attempts towards unity span from the very onset of the Church through Councils and it is more visible from the second-half of the nineteenth century through under the ecumenical movement. The Catholic Church did not remain on the sidelines of these efforts to restore the unity of Christians. And this is evident in Vatican II’s decree 'Unitatis Redintegratio'.
SMA OLA Response to Human Trafficking
Migrants remain almost daily in News headlines in recent years. While the media attention goes to debates on whether to let people in or not, SMA and OLA missionaries turn their attention to the victims of human trafficking and the criminal network behind it.
