Fr. Paulin Makiala arrives in Ottawa
On August 7 Fr. Gustave Lulendo, returning to Canada from the Congo, was accompanied by Fr. Paulin Makiala who will be studying Conflict Studies at Saint Paul University in Ottawa. His coming had been prepared for more than two years but each time Canadian Immigration found reason for blocking his entry. Finally, earlier this year, his application for a student visa was accepted. He arrived in Ottawa on August 12.
On the same day, two other new confreres arrived in Toronto to begin a pastoral year at St Thomas More parish. Both are in temporary vows. Here they are being greeted at the Toronto airport:
