Witnessing the growth of the Church

In my first mission, there were so many as over 150 small Christian communities in the mission. They were a new way of being church of the minority. Many catechumens were baptized in those years. During Easter Vigil the catechumens received 4 sacraments at once: the three of their Christian initiation and the blessing of their village marriage. The percentage of Catholic Christians had increased sharply from 18 to 25% in few years. The seminaries were full of young people, hope of a luxuriant future of vocations to the priesthood and also to the religious life. The life of the catechists was exemplary.
