MSC activity in the Caribbean, MSC Dominican Republic Province…. Now, moving towards: Antilles

Although it is still called the Dominican Republic Province, it has already begun to be the province of the Antilles because there are members from the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Canada, as well as from Cuba.

We congratulate Juan Tomás and thank Juanito Rodríguez and the councillors who completed their service of leadership for the good of the mission in this Taino land, a land that has rhythm and music at its heart, a land full of very joyful and enterprising people.

The Antilles are known as a place of tourist paradises, of dreamy plains; but at the same time, it is a land of many challenges and new "frontiers-liminality-and clamours" that require this MSC Entity to continue with the processes of transformation of mentalities, apostolates, and structures of community life... for the good of the mission.

Our brothers and sisters are found in all the countries of the West Indies and Canada where, guided by the Gospel of Jesus, they serve the People of God, and are invited to allow themselves to be transformed and enlightened by the future as it emerges.

It was wonderful to note that the book by Lucas Lafleur, msc "Interpreting Life from the Heart of God" has now been published. It is the memory of 60 years of missionary life of our dearest Lucas whom so many of us know. Thank you, Lucas Lafleur for your witness and joy in mission and for being a translator in so many MSC Chapters and Conferences.
