The National Congress is a major moment of unity for Sant'Egidio Nigeria, bringing communities together for prayer, formation, testimony, and shared direction.
Members and leaders from different cities and states gather to listen, pray, reflect on the life of the communities, and strengthen the bonds that make us one family.
The congress helps local communities learn from one another, deepen responsibility, and renew the national mission of friendship with the poor and peacebuilding.
It is also a moment to welcome new members and encourage younger communities as they grow.
