Summary/Abstract: Sometimes one encounters the claim that the official teaching of the Church on missionary issues passes by in practice. In this text, we want to analyze how, in light of the teachings of the encyclical Redemptoris missio, assistance to those affected by the Cyclone Haruna (2013) looked like, using the example of the Diocese of Morombe in southwestern Madagascar. The perspective of a decade since the event allows for a good analysis of what was happening somewhat spontaneously at the time. This example is also a good contribution to reflection on Polish missiological thought, since many Polish missionaries in Madagascar were involved, above all the bishop of that diocese, Zygmunt Robaszkiewicz MSF, and those responsible for missionary works in Poland.
