PAN AFRICAN CONGRESS FOR CATHOLIC LAITY
Vatican City, 13 July 2012 (VIS) - "Being witnesses of Jesus Christ in Africa
today. 'Salt of the earth ... light of the World'" is the theme of the
forthcoming Pan African Congress for Catholic Laity, which has been organised
by the Pontifical Council
for the Laity and is due to take place in Yaounde, Cameroon, from 4 to 9
September. The initiative is part of the council's tradition of organising
continental and/or regional congresses for Catholic lay people in various
parts of the world.
The event will be held at the Catholic University of Central Africa, and the
decision to hold the congress in Africa is related to the Holy Father's
apostolic trip to Cameroon and Angola in 2009 and, more recently, his visit to
Benin in November 2011 to
sign the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation "Africae Munus".
According to a communique released today: "the meeting demonstrates the
commitment of the Pontifical Council for the Laity to journey together with
the particular Churches. It also helps the laity to live their faith in
communion with their pastors and
to rediscover their co-responsibility for the Church’s mission in its
many fields of apostolate".

Vatican City, 13 July 2012 (VIS) - The Holy Father accepted the resignation
