Pope Francis invites the whole Church to participate in the realization of the Synod of Bishops (2021-2023) on the theme "For a Synodal Church: communion, participation, mission".

Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Gabriel Randrianantenaina bishop of the diocese of Tsiroanomadidy in the region of Bongolava. Four years ago, Mgr Gustavo Bombin Espino, former bishop of this diocese, was appointed bishop of Maintirano so the diocese in question did not have a bishop. The episcopal ordination took place on Sunday July 11, 2021 at the Public High School of the city Tsiroanomandidy.

His Holiness Pope Francis appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Tsiroanomandidy Reverend Father Gabriel Randrianantenaina, from the clergy of the Diocese of Moramanga and currently Coordinating Secretary of the Conference of Bishops of Madagascar.
