Passing through Rome on her return, she obtained the Pope's permission to found a cloistered convent of nuns in Sweden. On her return to her country, she prepared a foundation thanks to the financial means that her brother, Jean Olovson, a Teutonic knight, placed at her disposal. In 1281, the convent of the Dominican Sisters of Skänninge was founded. She dies the following year and is canonized. Ingrid of Skänninge was a disciple of the Swedish Dominican monk Petrus de Dacia.

For a genuine and authentic transformation

“Let your love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good” (Romans 12:9). Message from the Episcopal Conference of Madagascar to the Catholic faithful, to the leaders and officials of the nation, to young Malagasy people without distinction, to all our compatriots, and to all people of good will.

Love and Salvation

Christmas is a great joy, because it is the love of God that has come to us, proclaims Fr. Bizimana Innocent, Provincial Superior of the Salesians Don Bosco of Madagascar and Mauritius, presenting his Christmas greetings. Salvation is accomplished, so life is not in danger of disappearing. It is this love and this salvation that we wish to fill our life so that we have peace.
