This Saturday, October 25, the Afro Cultural Center of Guayaquil ECOPAX in Ecuador held its assembly, as established in its operating charter, in which the “Pillars of Peace in ECOPAX” were discussed.
The Comboni Peace Teams ECOPAX is a civil association founded in Mexico, inspired by Joel Cruz, which is now taking root in Ecuador. It already has three Cultural Centers for Peace in Guayaquil, one of which is virtual, and one in the city of El Empalme. The Comboni Lay Missionaries of Ecuador are also part of these teams.
ECOPAX is a community made up of lay people who form teams and communities to reduce violence. How? By creating structures for training, planning, and accompanying groups and communities.
One of these Peace Teams has its center of activities in the Parish of Our Lady of Czestochowa, accompanied by John Villarroel, CLM in Ecuador. On October 23, they had a gathering led by Father Séraphin Kakwata Kingwaya, Comboni missionary, on the theme: “Peace in Families”.
