“It was last
year during the 18th AMECEA Plenary in Malawi through the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit that the Plenary Fathers elected the then
Archbishop of Addis Ababa Ethiopia to be the Chairman of AMECEA and barely a
year later, His Holiness Pope Francis elevated Archbishop Berhaneyesus to the
status of the Cardinal. This is a great honor to the AMECEA Region,” Archbishop
Msusa said. Adding to this he further
said, “Another achievement in AMECEA Region was the appointment of Bishop
Mengisteab to be Archbishop of Asmara”.
