The Congregation of the Missionaries of Mariannhill have ended their 16th General Chapter with the new Superior General, Fr. Thulani Victor Mbuyisa, telling delegates that the Holy Father, Pope Francis told him: “Tell your confreres to be faithful to the spirituality of your founder (Abbot Francis Pfanner).” Fr.
