Bishop Markos Gebremedhin attends formation course

Bishop Markos Gebremedhin, the Vicar Apostolic of Jimma-Bonga, Ethiopia, recently completed a formation course titled "Servants of Communion in the Church" at the Ad Gentes Centre in Nemi. The program, organized by the Dicastery for Evangelization's Section for First Evangelization and New Particular Churches, concluded on September 19.

Bishop Gebremedhin joined 20 other bishops from English-speaking Africa for the training. He described the course as a period of spiritual renewal that allowed him to step back from daily administrative duties to focus on his vocation. He noted that the gathering provided a way to share experiences and challenges with other bishops who have served for more than ten years.
