Tom Clifford's Ireland on the Move visit's the event recognizing the efforts
of the SMA Fathers working with African communities to bring education and
other resources to their community. For over 160 years, the mission of the
SMA Fathers response to the mission
has been expressed through concrete commitments:
The first evangelization is the proclamation of the Gospel to those who have
not yet heard, especially the poor and most abandoned. It expresses fidelity
to the charism of the Founder. Justice, peace and integration of creation in
Africa, we strive to answer questions of justice and peace, particularly by
engaging with street children, former child soldiers, refugees, war displaced
people, the Ebola victims and people living with HIV and AIDS.
