Fr. Hagos expressed his hope that AMECEA Plenary will
bring more to the Church in Ethiopia “we hope that this will fuel the efforts
of canonizing Bl. Gebremichael, an Ethiopian Martyr who was a student of St.
Justin de Jacobis and one of the first Ethiopian Catholic Martyrs. We also hope
it might create an opportunity for our Holy Father Pope Francis to visit Ethiopia.”
