✨In the heart of South Sudan, where priests are unable to reach certain areas for months, it is the catechists who keep the flame of faith alive. During a pastoral training session in Old Fangak, Fr Christy John CMF, of the Solidarity pastoral team, was deeply moved by a photograph: James’s bare feet and worn-out sandals. A touching and powerful reflection that challenges us to consider the true meaning of discipleship and the extraordinary strength of a Church that never gives up. 🙏 Read it here:https://solidarityssudan.org/2026/06/08/when-this-picture-spoke-to-me-a-testimony-on-the-heroic-witness-of-catechist-james/

👨‍🏫We are delighted to share a moment from the lesson led by Sister Jacinta Prunty (Holy Faith Sisters) for the second-year class of the Pre-service course at Solidarity Teacher Training College (STTC).

In this video, Sister Jacinta introduces the ‘micro-teaching’ week, a fundamental pillar of the training programme for future teachers in South Sudan. Through this method, the college students have the opportunity to test themselves by simulating short lessons in front of their peers, thereby honing their teaching skills and gaining confidence in classroom management.

Investing in teacher training is key to building a robust education system and providing a future for the whole country. Best of luck to Sister Jacinta and all STTC students!
