A new dynamism at the cathedral
“Since the visit of the Holy Father the church has not been empty” rejoices Father Daniel Nourissat, the parish priest of the cathedral of Rabat. A booklet has been published to explain what a church is and what you can find there: religious objects, symbols, intended for the many young Muslims who come curiously to push the doors of the cathedral. Music from Taizé is played to ensure meditation.
During Advent, the slogan chosen was “Lord, make us a people to meet”, emphasizes Father Nourissat again, and the prayer was oriented towards confidence in a future where the little signs of listening and dialogue are make you feel everyday.
