Despite the Covid-19 pandemic with the many restrictions in place, especially lockdown, the First Profession of 9 novices from Senegal, Ghana, Malawi and Madagascar took place on 1 May, 2020 at the Saint Richard Pampuri Interprovincial Novitiate in Lomé (Togo). It was a simple celebration in a calm and prayerful atmosphere, during the Solemn Mass of Saint Richard Pampuri and the 1 May Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker in the chapel of the Interprovincial Novitiate at Agoe-Nyivé. It was presided over by Brother Jacob Tambe Ketchen, Master of Novices, in the presence of Brother Darius representing our neighbouring Junior Seminary, and Brother Parfait TCHAO, the Delegate of the Provincial Superiors.
