It is always a pleasure to hear from the Missionaries of Africa/ White Fathers as they were known in the early years in Africa.

Beautiful archival footage of their work in Africa, especially the Christmastide Mass in the Old Rite (red vestments might refer to Saint Stephen). Reminds me of a pivotal scene from Audrey Hepburn's film "Story of a Nun", showing similar priests in that same country when it was still the Belgian Congo.
God Bless the work of The White Fathers!
