June 25, 1859 - June 25, 2021, 162 years since Bishop Melchior de Marion Brésillac gave his life for Jesus, for the Mission, for the work of evangelization in Africa. A life and an example, which was, through a process of canonization initiated by his sons, the SMAs recognized by the universal church on October 10, 2019, as full of heroic virtues. Thus, making of this great servant of the mission a Venerable.
The then Servant of God, is for over a year now, Venerable Bishop Melchior de Marion Brésillac.
How did we come at this level of recognition? How is the Canonization process going? What remains to be done to achieve his beatification and canonization?

In this sixth issue of our news magazine, we will go:
1- in northern Nigeria, more precisely in the diocese of Kontagora, where for several months we have been witnessing an upsurge in violence. Violence that prevents the smooth running of pastoral activities.
2- Then in Spain: where since September of last year, the Archdiocese of Madrid has entrusted to the SMA, a new parish, in the suburbs of Madrid. A parish on the verge of closing, but which, thanks to the SMA, is in the process of being reborn.
3- And to close our news, we are going to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to discover the “Stap verder project”. A project set up by the SMA and the “Stichting Pastoraal Diaconaal Centrum Bijlmermeer”, to help people without papers and homeless.
