Pope Leo XIV meets Augustinians in Annaba in fraternal visit
ANNABA, Algeria — Pope Leo XIV met privately Tuesday with fellow members of the Augustinian order, sharing lunch with the local community in what the order described as a “beautiful and pleasant” fraternal encounter.
A statement from the Order of St. Augustine said the meeting reflected the joy of brothers dwelling together in unity.
“After visiting the ruins of Hippo and the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Pope arrives in Annaba as a brother among brothers,” the statement said. “Here he meets the Augustinian friars who care for the Basilica of St. Augustine, sharing with them one common heart rooted in the spirit of St. Augustine of Hippo.”
The gathering was marked by a shared meal, smiles, and fraternity, according to the statement.
Also present with the pontiff were Father Joseph Farrell, prior general of the Order of St. Augustine, and Father Martin Davakan, OSA, vicar general.
The statement highlighted the international character of the Augustinian community in Annaba, saying it reflects unity amid the diversity of nations.
“The community of Annaba (Hippo) itself reflects this diversity, with the presence of Father Dominic Juma Habakuk from South Sudan, Father Shailong Leviticus Longzem from Nigeria, and the rector, Father Frederick Wekesa from Kenya,” the statement said. “They are brothers, coming from different lands, but united in heart and soul.”
Father Augustine Ugbomah, who serves in the Pontifical Sacristy, was also present.
