47th General Assembly of the Union of Senegalese Clergy

Our Assembly

From September 15 to 19, 2025, we, the priests of the Union du Clergé Sénégalais (UCS), gathered in Saint-Louis for our 47th General Assembly. 203 priests from all the dioceses of Senegal and the sub-region took part in this fraternal gathering under the theme «For a synodal and autonomous Church in the service of justice and peace in Senegal». This theme was chosen in the wake of the Synod on Synodality and is in line with the 5th General Assembly of the United Episcopal Conferences of West Africa (CERAO), held from May 05 to 12, 2025, in Dakar.
