For the first time at a PC, there are two SMA Lay Missionaries present to represent the SMA Lay Missionaries: Hélène Liet from France and Anysie Légonou from Benin. Tomorrow (Wednesday, Day 3 of the PC) they will present to the other delegates their experience as SMA lay missionaries, and next week the delegates will be further discussing and preparing a text on the laity within SMA.

Hélène also prepares regular updates from the PC for the SMA Lay Missionaries blog. She has been posting articles sent to her from the various SMA lay missionary groups on the blog since 2008. This is a link to the lay missionaries’ blog where Hélène’s updates can be found, as well as previous articles from the lay missionaries: http://smalmi.blogspot.com/
