Two members of the CISA Community in Rome recently received doctorates from the Pontifical Gregorian University. Djomandji Zofiet Guy Martial, O. Carm., from Cameroun in the German Province, defended his thesis on Le retour à l’imagine et à la resemblance de Dieu dans les Exercices de dix jours chez Jean de Saint-Samson.
The second doctorate was awarded to Joseph Tri Phan, a member of the North American Province of St. Elias. His thesis was titled Toward a Fully Co-responsible Sharing in Evangelization and Ministry Specific to Carmel: The Impact of the Carmelite Reception of Vatican II's Ecclesiology and Theology of the Laity on the Secular Order of Carmelites in Asia.
Both men will now return to their respective countries to minister. We pray that their ministries may bear much fruit.
