As the Regional Conference of Major Superiors of Southern Africa, it gives us immense joy to be congratulating you on having achieved such a milestone. Indeed, your maturity is now also seen in the fact that religious men and women in the region have begun the path of Synodality where they are in communion with one another and with the Church in particular. May this moment of jubilation be an opportunity for healing and new birth in our region as you continue to lead and shepherd the people of
God in Synodality.
