To celebrate the Year for Priests, Pauline Editions of the Ivory Coast has published the book ?Eloigne-toi du rivage? (?Leave the Shore Behind?) by Fr. Paulin Degni Kongo, a Patrology professor at the Catholic University of West Africa. The book is a collection of the author?s reflection on the gift of the priestly life, on the Church and on inculturating the Gospel in a pluralistic society.
During December, Fr. Paulin was invited to present his book to various parishes and groups, providing him with a wonderful opportunity to help people get to know the vocation to priesthood better.
The picture shows Fr. Paulin writing a dedication to his book in the presence of His Excellency Laurent Akran Mandjo, Bishop of the Yopougon Diocese.
