Africa, St Patrick's Missions 
November 2025, Vol. 90 No. 7

The November edition of Africa is out now!

 

Below is a flavour of just some of the articles you will find in it:

 

In his regular column Wonder with the Word, Fr Dermot Connolly SPS shares a vivid childhood memory of the excitement surrounding the horse fair in Ballinasloe, Co Galway. He reflects on how that experience may echo something of what the young Jesus felt when he went missing in the Temple.

 

Fr Paul McAlinden (Archdiocese of Glasgow) reflects on his time at St Patrick’s College, Buchlyvie, Scotland. He expresses his deep gratitude to all the priests who played a role in his formation and training. 

Eddie Longworth profiles Simone Biles, the American gymnast whose story is one of remarkable God-given talent matched by unwavering dedication and drive. Biles stands as the most decorated gymnast in history, a true icon of excellence in her sport.
