AMERICA/BOLIVIA - On the way to Fifth American Mission Congress (CAM 5-COMLA 10)

Thursday, 19 February 2015

Santa Cruz (Agenzia Fides) – The Pontifical Mission Societies (POM) in Bolivia presented yesterday the first material prepared for animation, formation and information in view of CAM 5-COMLA 10 (Fifth American Mission Congress, Tenth Latin American Mission Congress) to be held in Bolivia in 2018. Besides a global presentation of the event, the material proposes some activities for this year and the coming year 2016.
“The material - Sr Cilenia Rojas, Coordinator general POM Bolivia, writes in a report to Fides – is an aid to promote reflection on the principal Scripture texts for mission: ‘you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth’. In this sense, CAM5-COMLA10 is called to nurture and renew the mission awareness of all the baptised on the continent". In fact the central goal of CAM5 is "to enhance missionary identity and commitment in our Church in order to respond more courageously, generously and with more effectiveness to the challenges of New Evangelisation".
The POM in Bolivia are busy with a major effort for committed mission animation since Bolivia was chosen to host CAM5-COMLA10. In addition there are great expectations for the announced visit of Pope Francis and the 5th National Eucharistic Congress, in Tarija, from the 1-5 July 2015. (CE) (Agenzia Fides, 19/02/2015)
