A delegation from the “United States of the World” and the “Fondazione Mediterraneo” is taking part in the main events in Equatorial Guinea to mark the visit of Pope Leo XIV, who arrived at Malabo International Airport on the northern coast of the island of Bioko, where he was welcomed with full honours by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo; Immediately afterwards, he made his way to the Presidential Palace accompanied by two colourful wings of the crowd, amidst a whirlwind of music, flags and yellow caps.
“I read in some articles that the people of Equatorial Guinea had decided they did not want to be outdone by their Cameroonian and Angolan neighbours. And so it proved! The people prepared themselves spiritually and practically to welcome their Shepherd, and the joy and liveliness of these days are the result of a great effort by the State and the Church,” testifies Sister Giusy Becchero, a missionary in Equatorial Guinea, in the Province of St Mary Domenica Mazzarello.
In this country, we find two communities of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians – Blessed Eusebia Palomino and Mary Help of Christians – founding members of the “United States of the World”. All of them took part in the events in the city alongside the people, whilst the young people and groups participated with the parishes.
