The dynamism of the Daughters of St. Paul in Abidjan, Ivory Coast deserves attention. In addition to announcing the PF Year of the Bible in their 2020-2021 Liturgical Calendar, which has a circulation of about 30,000 copies, our sisters have also produced a series of radio programs on the Lectio Divina and a specific interview about the Bible Year on the most popular Catholic radio station in Abidjan.

Their opening of the Year was accompanied by two publications: the text Mary, Servant of the Lord and the Sterile Women of the Bible–an African rereading of some pages of the Word, and a Guide to the Lectio divina to make it accessible to all.

On 26 November, the Bible was enthroned in their book center, while on Sunday, 29 November, a solemn Mass was celebrated in Yopougon Cathedral, with great participation on the part of the faithful. T-Shirts and Polo shirts with the logo of the Bible Year were prepared for the occasion. The Liturgy was filmed and transmitted via Web.
