New African airline takes off in Malawi The government of Malawi and African powerhouse Ethiopian Airlines have finalised the creation of a new national airline in the Southern African country, called Malawian Airlines. Officials in Addis Ababa confirmed the government of Malawi will hold a 51 per cent stake in new carrier, with Ethiopian Airlines holding the remaining shares. Negotiations had been ongoing for months as replaced the collapsed Air Malawi with a new professionally managed national airline supported by a strong partner. After ASKY in West Africa, Malawian Airlines will be the second such joint venture from Ethiopian Airlines, which is considered one of the strongest players on the continent. The move is part of Ethiopian Airlines plan to assert its continental leadership through both direct expansion and through strategic partnerships. It is hoped this will help feed extra traffic into its long-haul network, while simultaneously drawing in traffic from rivals in the region. Also: Call us Malawian Airlines

of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the near future while prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the world among men. The second talk on pastoral issues was offered by Dr. Fr. Leonard Namuhumba who is a lecturer at St. Dominic’s Major Seminary. As usual, each community gave a report of their activities and brought their views and concerns on various questions related to our commitments and future engagements. Thanks to the Provincial Christopher Chileshe, using a PowerPoint presentation, the confreres got a better understanding of the decisions taken at the Plenary Council which took place in Ouagadougou, West Africa. The end of the meeting ended with a farewell party in honour of Father Henk van der Steen who decided to retire in his native land in Holland. For he’s a jolly good fellow, for he’s a jolly good fellow, For he’s a jolly good fellow, and so say all of us! Here some pictures of the event.
Declaration of Intent of Jean-Baptiste Todjro
The St. Lawrence community is inviting all of us to the Declaration of Intent of our stagiaire Jean-Baptiste Todjro. The Eucharistic celebration will start at 9:00 hours on Sunday the 2nd February. This is an important step for Jean-Baptiste as he is expressing publicly his intention to pursue his formation to become a Missionary of Africa.
Let us make this event ours in a spirit of thanksgiving for the achievement of Jean-Baptiste as well as the entire St. Lawrence’s community.
