The FSPs resident in Abidjan, capital of the Ivory Coast, took part in the country’s first Catholic Book Salon, held from 12-15 March in the Cultural Center of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The initiative was organized by Generationship, a group of young Christians striving to carry out spiritual activities and to evangelize by promoting Catholic and Christian publishing houses. To help people become more aware of the treasures to be found in the Bible, the Salon centered on the theme: That the reading of Sacred Scripture will enable us to make our faith visible in our personal lives and in the Church.

The Daughters of St. Paul participated in this event with a book stand from which they carried out various activities, including book conferences, giving the public the chance to meet authors and have the books they purchased autographed by them.
