March Update

The Cape Town Community gathered in Stellenbosch with the tertianship community for the evening meal to say goodbye. Fr. Rampe Hlobo, the local superior, presided at the Mass beforehand.

The JCAM Cape Town Tertians returned from their experiments on the 24th of February and  have spent the week reflecting on the experiences in the light of the overall Tertianship programme. All expressed their thanks for their welcome and stay in the Jesuit communities in Cape Town and Johannesburg, as well as with the Sisters of Nazareth in Cape Town. All went well with the various works with refugees, homeless, parishes, orphans and aged and the Parliamentary Liaison Office and the Jesuit Institute. There was the odd skirmish with police road blocks and con artists at taxi ranks in Johannesburg. Many of the Tertians covered great distances walking to work and experiencing the street life of the towns.

This Tertianship ends on 15th March 2020. 

Here are some pictures of the Tertians at work in very diverse situations, as we reported in the last update.
