(ANS – Lomé) – On Sunday, 28 June 2026, the Salesian postnovitiate community of Lomé (Don Bosco House) celebrated the thanksgiving mass for the 2025–2026 pastoral year, marking also the farewell to confreres assigned to new missions. Eighteen Salesians, completing their postnovitiate formation and representing four provinces (ACC, AON, AOS, and ATE) and nine countries, will now continue their journey through practical training in other communities. On this occasion, the community also expressed heartfelt gratitude to Fr. Larios Idohou, who, after four years of dedicated service as economer and formator, has been assigned to a new mission in his home province (AON). The Rector, Fr. Bernard Gaba-Dovi, thanked the confreres for the gift of their lives and their meaningful presence throughout the pastoral year. The celebration concluded in a joyful and fraternal atmosphere marked by thanksgiving and hope.
