On June 9, 2011 Fr. Achille Figini passed away after many years of service in Mexico. He was ordained to the missionary priesthood in 1955 and from 1966 to 1972 he worked in Spain. From 1973 he spent the rest of his life tirelessly working in formation, pastoral work and in education.
On June 12, 2011 Fr. Aldo Rottini passed away at the age of 76. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1960. After working for some years as a teacher in Italy, he left for the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1969, first studying French in Paris and obtaining a degree in Louvain University. From 1972 he worked in pastoral work in Kitutu, Kadutu and Cahi. He also worked in media in Italy from 1987 to 1999. After only working a few years in Cameroon, he became ill and suffered long from 2001 to the present.
We ask your prayers for these dedicated missionaries who gave their lives for the mission of the Church.
