Summary

Father Voillard, Superior General of the Society of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers), undertook a visit to Central Africa from June 1927 to February 1929. He visited all the mission territories of what was then known as “Africa of the Great Lakes.” Every day he wrote up his travel diary, in which he recorded his observations, reflections and feelings. The diary is simply a personal journal which was not intended for publication. It seemed, nevertheless, useful to share this testimony about what the missions of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers) were like in 1927.
